Why does the system say that I have more than 4000 characters when my description has less?

Modified on Tue, 09 Nov 2021 at 10:29 PM

IMPORTANT: Links inside the descriptions will be removed shortly, so we do not recommend their use in the description of your podcast.


At this moment we are using a WYSWYG (What You See Is What You Get) text editor, however, when you write here you are writing in HTML code.


This means that some characters will not be displayed on the screen but they do count towards the 4000 characters.


For example, every time you add a paragraph, the code <p> is inserted at the beginning and </p> at the end, so each space between the lines counts as 7 characters.


The same thing happens when you add hyperlinks to your description, so we suggest you keep this in mind when writing your description.
