I'm creating a description for a Homebrew race, and I am trying to make the details screen. I have a quote at the top, then a bunch of text underneath with headings and such. However, when I look at the race preview screen, I only see the quote and features of the race. How would I get the rest of the description into it. Is there a word cap? or do I need to use some buttons at the top of the text box to format it? Cheers for any responses.

No, you should not need to do anything special. Please post a link to your homebrew so a Mod or Staffer (not me) can look into it for you. (They can even inspect your unpublished homebrews for you.) In the meantime, here are some troubleshooting questions and suggestions:

• Did you copy/paste any of that text from elsewhere?
• When you formatted the text (headers, bold/italics/etc.) did you use the gray buttons at the top, or some other method?
  • If the issue is being caused by formatting, here is a way to scrub it clean:
    Drag highlight the entire contents of that description and “cut” it out, then ”paste” it into a snippet field somewhere, either in a trait from that race, or any other snippet field anywhere.* That will scrub it clean of all formatting. Then, drag highlight that scrubbed version, “cut” it and “paste it where it belongs. Everything will now be plain text, no headers, no formatting whatsoever. It won’t look the way you want, but it will not have any current formatting that is causing the issue. [SAVE CHANGES] and check again if that has not solved it there is something else. (You may want to save a non-scrubbed copy somewhere just in case.*)

*(I find it very handy to have a homebrew subclass’ feature open in another tab. Subclass features have a snippet field, a description field, and a multiclass description field too. That gives me space to have multiple things in separate spaces on the same tab for ease of editing and a convenient snippet field for quickly scrubbing copy/paste text.)

• What browser are you using?
• Are you running any ad/popup blockers, browser extensions, or a VPN that may be interfering with DDB?
• Do you have the same Homebrew open in different tabs, possibly on more than one device?
• Have you checked it in incognito mode?

Alright, I've sorted it out, and I'm fixing it atm, but now I got another problem lol. Headers. Whenever I make a piece of text a header, it makes the entire text below it a header as well. I could make a wall of text, put a title above and highlight the title, and it will make the entire wall of text a heading. Any idea on how to fix? Cheers.



Edit: I've noticed it seems to do it to anything that changes formatting. Italics, quoting, it seems to screw up text. Is this a common issue with a simple fix I don't know about?

That’s because instead of moving to a new “paragraph,” you’re just creating a line break. If you hit [enter], like this:

See how it automatically left a space between that 👆 “paragraph” and this one. 👈

Now, this time, instead of just hitting [enter], I’ll hit [shift+enter] twice:

and it looks the same. Right? But, when I click the little gray button up above with the symbol   </>   that shows the html, it reveals what really happened:

You see the paragraphs in between the “start new paragraph” symbol  <p>  and the “end paragraph symbol  </p>  in there? See that little goofy spot in the middle of the paragraph where it looks like this:  <br /><br />  In between “twice:” and “and it looks the same?” It looks like a separate paragraph to you, but to the computer… not so much. 

<p>  </p>  = “paragraph”
<br />  = “line break”

<h6>  </h6> = “Header 6”

<h2>  </h2> = “Header 2”

<em>  </em>  =  “emphasized” aka “italicized” (Don’t use your normal way to italicize, that uses <i>  </i> and DDB’s system no likey sometimes)

<strong>  </strong>  =  “strong” aka “bold” (Don’t use your normal way to embolden, that uses <b>  </b> and DDB’s system no likey sometimes)

 <span style="text-decoration: underline;">  </span>  = “underlined” (Your normal way to underline, that uses <u>  </u>  I haven’t noticed DDB’s system complaining about that one… yet.)

You can learn more about html code with a basic Google search, but that should get you about 80-95% through most things on DDB. Look in the spoiler below to see what all of that 👆 looks like in html.

I hope that helps.
