#### Formatting for HTML settings
To achieve the best looking results, you must use well-structured HTML for the site description, site extended description, closed registrations message and others.
First, site description is **one paragraph**, so it's already pre-wrapped in a `<p>` tag, you shouldn't add others. This text is really expected to be rather short, because it will appear on all OpenGraph previews.
All other HTML fields don't have that requirement, so you are supposed to wrap your paragraphs in `<p>`s yourself, **do not use text not wrapped in a `<p>` or `<li>`** as it will be unstyled. You can use `<em>` tags to bolden/highlight parts of the text, and `<a>` tags for links.
You can use `<ol>` tags for numbered lists, and `<ul>` tags for unordered lists, with `<li>` for each item in the list. Do not use `<li>` outside of `<ol>` or `<ul>`.
You can use `<hr />` as a horizontal separator.
You can use `<h1>`-`<h6>` tags for headlines. Inside the `<h1>` tag, you may use `<small>` for a subheader. The `<h3>` looks most natural in the current layout.
