Create Short Description in OLX#
Note
This page describes how to create the Short Description section for a course, provided the Open edX instance the course is hosted on is using the default Open edX course catalog. Some Open edX instances might utilize a different way of publishing and advertising courses.
A short description of the course appears at the top of the Course About page.
Create the Short Description File#
Create an HTML file called short_description.html in the about
directory.
The short description is limited to 150 characters.
Within that limit, any text and HTML markup to the short description file can be added.
