Episode description formatting issue

You are writing your descriptions in html with copious use of coding such as <br><br> and <p></p>. Not so long ago iTunes would have displayed all your coding; now it's doing some minimal rendering but it's obviously not accepting more than one blank line, and it's not capable of showing bold face or any other of the formatting options such as font-weight or iframes.

Really it's advisable to write descriptions in plain text, using returns for new paragraphs. It will show a blank line between paragraphs by entering two returns, but I would guess it will not show extra line spaces - I wouldn't recommend double line spaces anyway, it's not really a suitable medium for them.

Are the spaces Libsyn made with the 'return' key? If they are 'soft returns' they won't show in Apple Podcasts: the Descriptions there should be in plain text with no sort of formatting. I can't comment any further without being able to look at the feed (from its URL).

I need the feed URL. Looking at what there is I can onlyu guess that Apple are removing returns where there is more than one blank line, but I don't actually know in the absence of being able to see your coding.

I'm having the exact same issue. I tried using plain text and that actually made the formatting worse. Podbean suggested that I subscribe to my own podcast and rest assured the formatting is now normal. I hope Apple gets it together because this doesn't happen on any other hosting website.

Best of Luck
