<h2>Extended Description</h2>

<h3>Multilanguage descriptions</h3>

<p>Multilanguage descriptions are placed between [lang=xx] and [/lang] tags, where xx is the language code (for example en, es, fr). There is also 2 special languages : [lang=default] and [lang=all]</p>

<ul>
  <li><b>Example</b>:<br>
  <br>
<code>[lang=default] default description [/lang]<br>
[lang=en] description in english [/lang]<br>
[lang=de] deutsche Beschreibung [/lang]</code>
</li>
</ul>

<p>The default description will be used if the description is not available in the connected user selected language.
If [lang=default] does not exists, anything outside the [lang] tags will be considered as the default description.</p>

<p><u>Special language <i>all</i></u>: anything inside [lang=all] will be included in the description, anywhat the connected user defined language is.
This is mainly useful to include HTML/JavaScript code inside a description.</p>
