<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 are also 2 special languages : [lang=default] and [lang=all]</p>

<ul>
  <li><b>Example</b>:<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, whatever the connected user defined language is.
This is mainly useful to include HTML/JavaScript code inside a description.</p>

<h3>Extended descriptions</h3>

<p>Extended description tags make it possible to have a short description for the album outside the album,
a longer description for the album inside the album page,
or even 2 distinct descriptions inside the album page.</p>

<p>tag &lt;!--more--&gt; adds text to the short description.<br>
tag &lt;!--complete--&gt; lets the user have 2 distinct descriptions.<br>
tag &lt;!--up-down--&gt; lets the user have a top and a bottom description.</p>

<ul>
  <li><b>&lt;!--more--&gt;</b></li>
</ul>
<code>short description &lt;!--more--&gt; long description</code>
<p>Only the short description is displayed outside the album. On the album page, you will see short description + long description.</p>

<ul>
  <li><b>&lt;!--complete--&gt;</b></li>
</ul>
<code>short description &lt;!--complete--&gt; long description</code>
<p>Only the short description is displayed outside the album. On the album page, you will only see the long description, so you have 2 distinct descriptions.</p>

<ul>
  <li><b>&lt;!--up-down--&gt;</b></li>
</ul>
<code>top description &lt;!--up-down--&gt; bottom description</code>
<p>Only the top description is displayed outside the album.  On the album page, the top description is displayed above the thumbnails, the bottom description is displayed below the thumbnails.</p>
