I looked at a bunch of your File Exchange listings and you typically have only a few words or one or two sentences. Above that is the Auctiva scroller followed by the Auctiva credit, and below your sentence is the File Exchange logo, a Vistor counter, followed by the Auctiva credit, then MyStoreMaps widget, followed by the map credit. The widgets far outweigh your one sentence, making it difficult to locate that one sentence.
You can use HTML within a data cell for File Exchange, but you must make sure that there are no linebreaks in the code.
Below is some HTML that puts a blue box around the text and gives it borders that are as fat as the widgets to keep the text from disappearing.
This code can be pasted into a spreadsheet cell. If you use a flat file instead, then the quotemarks would need to be doubled.
<div style="margin:auto; font-size:16px; max-width:600px; padding:0 12px 30px 12px; background: #C0E0F0; border-radius:20px; box-shadow:2px 5px 8px 0px rgba(0,0,0,.5)"><p style="text-align:center; font-weight:bold; font-size:.8em; margin:0; padding:.7em; color:#047;">DESCRIPTION</p><div style="margin:auto; padding:2em 1em; border:1px inset #006AB1; border-radius:10px; background:#F2F7FB; box-shadow: inset 2px 5px 5px 0px rgba(0,0,0,.2); font-family:arial; font-size:1.2em; min-height:5em; ">...DESCRIPTION TEXT GOES HERE...</div></div>
Notice that your text goes near the end of the code.
If you need to break your text into separate lines, then use the <br> tag to do so.
For instance, here is one description
Origin: Imported, Fit: True to Size, Outsole: Synthetic, Upper: Fabric
To break it into four lines use a <br> between each and to double space, use two <br><br> between each.
Origin: Imported<br><br>Fit: True to Size<br><br>Outsole: Synthetic<br><br>Upper: Fabric
