I am trying to put formatted text on home page so there is more text as well as pictures. Using uber template. Followed the demo process of creating a blog post and displaying it based on category to get an article displayed on the home page. It displays on the home page but all the formatting is stripped out. I have a formatted list that is want to use. I have enclosed it with the <div class="container"> to try and protect the code from being pulled out that does not work either. Is this expected? I am using blog format #2, but any other format seems to take out the code. I have the same content displayed as an article and everything works as expected. When I view the page is view source I can see most formatting is missing. Can not figure out how the software selectively does that. Is there a better way to put this text on the home page?

Here is the link to the home page home page with code taken out
the exact same page as an article same content linked to as an article

Hi
its default Joomla module that does not allow the special characters to show them intro text .
You need to edit the core files . Go to ~siteroot~/modules/mod_articles_category/helper.php
remove this code

        $introtext = str_replace('<p>', ' ', $introtext);
        $introtext = str_replace('</p>', ' ', $introtext);
        $introtext = strip_tags($introtext, '<a><em><strong>');
        $introtext = trim($introtext);

Here > http://prntscr.com/aggmen

Hope it helps .

Worked like a charm, I never would have found that in years of looking!. Is this a security concern at all in taking out the code?

I can see why it might be there in displaying content not formatted for home page display.

Thank you for the fast response and solving the problem. Problem solved.
