Does anyone know how to "embellish" the app description in the play store? For example putting "novelties", formatting text, etc.

See highlighted in the example below:

Experimentally, I discovered that you can use:

  • Simple Line Breaks are ignored; Double Line Breaks open a new paragraph;
  • Simple Line Breaks can be forced to finish the line with two spaces (similar to Markdown).
  • A limited set of HTML tags (optionally nested), especially:
    • <b>...</b> for Bold,
    • <i>...</i> for italic,
    • <u>...</u> underlining,
    • <br /> to force a simple line break
  • A URL formatted as http://google.com appears as a hyperlink. (Be careful when trying to use an HTML tag <a> with customized description because this nay works and breaks the formatting)
  • Special HTML characters are supported, such as &rarr; (→), &trade; (™) and &reg; (®); see this reference W3 for the full list.
  • Encoded characters in UTF-8 are supported, such as, €, £, ġ, ', and.
  • Identation is not strictly possible, but using a marker and a space seems reasonable (&#8226;&#8195; is "• ").
  • Emoji are supported.

Special notes relating to google play apps:

  • Some HTML tags only work in the application:
    • <blockquote>...</blockquote> to create a paragraph of the text,
    • <small>...</small> for a text is slightly smaller,
    • <sup>...</sup> and <sub>...</sub> for super- and subscripts.
    • <font color="#000000">...</font> to set the font color in HEX encoding.
  • Some symbols do not appear correctly, such as.
  • All above formatting also appears correctly in "What’s New".

Special notes on the Google Play website:

  • Some HTML tags work only on the website:
    • <s>...</s> for raked.
  • Plain text appears in "What’s New" ( and HTML formatting will be shown as plain text);
