How to use extended HTML tags in WHMCS products description.

When you compile and edit the description of a product in WHMCS, you can use simple HTML tags, like <br />, <strong> </strong>, <em></em>

If you try to use other commands, like i.e. a simple link:

<a href="https://domainregister.international" target="_blank">DomainRegister</a>

will not work, and the output will be corrupted.

The cause of this is the column (":") inside the link, or in other HTML tag which include a column.

The colum is, for WHMCS, a special character used for feature highlights

A fix: you need to usem instead of column, the corresponding ASCII code &#58

So, the link of previous sample need to be inserted as follows:

<a href="https&#58;//domainregister.international" target="_blank">DomainRegister</a>
