# Format the Text Explanation on the Request Reference form

This section covers how to apply HTML formatting characters and tags within the Text Explanation that appears at the top of the Request Reference form.

This allows you to be crystal clear with the instructions, restrictions, and service-level agreements that you present to requesters.

### Apply formatting

Go to **SlapFive Settings > New Request Text Explanation**.

Enter the **New Request Text Explanation** that you'd like to appear at the top of the form, with the formatting tags and characters.

Click **Save**.

### HTML Characters and Tags for Formatting

You can use most HTML characters and tags, including these:

<table data-search="false"><thead><tr><th>Formatting</th><th>HTML</th><th>Result / Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Bold</strong></td><td><code>&#x3C;b>text&#x3C;/b></code></td><td>Makes text <strong>bold</strong></td></tr><tr><td><em>Italic</em></td><td><code>&#x3C;i>text&#x3C;/i></code></td><td>Makes text <em>italic</em></td></tr><tr><td>Underline</td><td><code>&#x3C;u>text&#x3C;/u></code></td><td>Underlines text</td></tr><tr><td>Line break</td><td><code>&#x3C;br></code></td><td>Starts a new line</td></tr><tr><td>Paragraph</td><td><code>&#x3C;p>text&#x3C;/p></code></td><td>Creates a separate paragraph</td></tr><tr><td>Bulleted list</td><td><code>&#x3C;ul>&#x3C;li>Item 1&#x3C;/li>&#x3C;li>Item 2&#x3C;/li>&#x3C;/ul></code></td><td>Creates an indented bulleted list</td></tr><tr><td>Numbered list</td><td><code>&#x3C;ol>&#x3C;li>Item 1&#x3C;/li>&#x3C;li>Item 2&#x3C;/li>&#x3C;/ol></code></td><td>Creates an indented numbered list</td></tr><tr><td>Indented block</td><td><code>&#x3C;blockquote>text&#x3C;/blockquote></code></td><td>Indents a block of text</td></tr><tr><td>Bullet</td><td><code>&#x26;bull;</code></td><td>•</td></tr><tr><td>Non-breaking space</td><td><code>&#x26;nbsp;</code></td><td>Inserts a space that won't wrap</td></tr><tr><td>Em dash</td><td><code>&#x26;mdash;</code></td><td>—</td></tr><tr><td>En dash</td><td><code>&#x26;ndash;</code></td><td>–</td></tr><tr><td>Right arrow</td><td><code>&#x26;rarr;</code></td><td>→</td></tr><tr><td>Left arrow</td><td><code>&#x26;larr;</code></td><td>←</td></tr><tr><td>Ampersand</td><td><code>&#x26;amp;</code></td><td>&#x26;</td></tr><tr><td>Less than</td><td><code>&#x26;lt;</code></td><td>&#x3C;</td></tr><tr><td>Greater than</td><td><code>&#x26;gt;</code></td><td>></td></tr><tr><td>Copyright</td><td><code>&#x26;copy;</code></td><td>©</td></tr><tr><td>Registered trademark</td><td><code>&#x26;reg;</code></td><td>®</td></tr><tr><td>Trademark</td><td><code>&#x26;trade;</code></td><td>™</td></tr><tr><td>Left double quote</td><td><code>&#x26;ldquo;</code></td><td>“</td></tr><tr><td>Right double quote</td><td><code>&#x26;rdquo;</code></td><td>”</td></tr></tbody></table>
