It would be nice to be able to better format TV show descriptions.

TV show (and movie) descriptions are currently limited to a continuous block of text, as in screenshot(SS) 1.  Carriage return(CR) & extra blank lines are ignored.  I would like to be able to position the text in a more visually pleasing format, as in SS 2. I often create "custom" TV shows that group similar videos, that don't easily fall into other categories: e.g. RECENT HISTORY, which features various news clips or videos of other significant recent historical events.  I use the seasons to sub-group them.  In the SS below, the seasons are STORIES, SHORTS, & SONGS (don't judge me, it is for my grandchildren).  The TV show format is very conducive to this sort of organization.  I have to manually edit all the metadata & images, but the final product presents very well.

For my purposes, I would ask that the CR be recognized when the text is displayed.  A single CR would allow separate paragraphs.  A double CR would create a blank line, etc.  There seems to be plenty of space next to the poster, or clicking the "See More" icon would allow a full display.  This seems like it would be an easy enough request to implement.  CR's are currently accepted in the "edit metadata" description field, but they are ignored when formatting the display.

Yes there are a couple requests out there but in the end it will come back to trying to have a method that will work across all clients.  As I believe the only current method is html code <br>

Yes, this does seem to solve the problem. Thank you very much.  It seems to work on my laptop & my cell phone clients.
