Aegis, I’m glad you like the plugin!
When you paste text into a web based editor all formatting is lost unless the editor has a “paste with formatting” feature like paste for word or similar. Right now, the iCafe library plugin does not have this type of editor…it only has simple text boxes.
Options:
The plugin does support HTML tags. If you know HTML you can format your text within the description field.
Example from your text above
<b>Trigger Control 1*</b>
<br /><br />
<i>Dry fire preparation procedures:</i>
<br /><br />
<ol>
<li>Ensure your responsibilities are taken care of (email, phone, other people), and you can reasonably expect fifteen minutes of uninterrupted time.</li>
<li>This will show up as number 2 on the list</li>
<li>This will show up as number 3 on the list</li>
</ol>
Option 2 still involves HTML but you could use the WordPress “Paste from Word” feature to create the HTML for you. Just create your formatted text in a desktop publishing program, copy the text, create a new WordPress page/blog (you won’t actually save it), paste your text in using the “Paste From Word” feature in the visual editor. Then click to the text version of the editor and you will see the HTML that WordPress created to represent your formatting. Copy/Paste that text into your description. It’s a round about way, but it avoids needing to know any HTML.
I wouldn’t be scared of learning some basing HTML formatting however…it is very straight forward.
Tags tell the browser how to display the text. Tags open and close.
<b>This will be bold</b> but this will not because the "b" tag was closed
<i>italics</i>
</br>
line break (this tag does not need a closing tag...it is self closing)
The UL tag is an “unordered list” or bulleted list. The “LI” tags inside of it are the list items.
<ul>
<li>bulleted list item</li>
<li>bulleted list item</li>
<li>bulleted list item</li>
</ul>
A “OL” or ordered list is the same but with numbers instead of bullets
<ol>
<li>Item One</li>
<li>Item Two</li>
<li>Item Three</li>
</ol>
Hope this helps!
