Description

Formatting

The formatting of interest is more complex than that of many other elements. The title is always displayed first, in standard font. Then, if there is a description, and the interest.description.format parameter value is single-line, a period and a space (“. ”) are displayed. Finally, the description is output, formatted according to the interest.description.format parameter.
