Add formatting to an app description on Google Play

Does anyone know how to "embellish" the app description in the play store? For example put "news", format text, etc.

See the example below:

Experimentally, I've found that you can use:

  • Single line breaks are ignored; Double line breaks open a new paragraph;
  • Single line break can be forced by ending the line with two spaces (similar to Markdown).
  • A limited set of HTML tags (optionally nested), especially:
    • <b>...</b> to bold,
    • <i>...</i> to italic,
    • <u>...</u> for underline,
    • <br /> to force a single line break
  • A URL formatted as http://google.com appears as a hyperlink. (Caution when attempting to use a <a> HTML tag with custom description because does not works and breaks formatting)
  • Special HTML characters are supported, such as &rarr; (→), &trade; (™) and &reg; (®); see this W3 reference for the full list.
  • Characters encoded in UTF-8 are supported, such as, €, £, ',', ★ and ☆.
  • Identation is not strictly possible, but using a marker and a space seems reasonable (% with% is "•").
  • Emoji are supported.

Special notes regarding Google play apps :

  • Some HTML tags work only in the app:
    • &#8226;&#8195; to indent a paragraph of the text,
    • <blockquote>...</blockquote> for a text is slightly smaller,
    • <small>...</small> and <sup>...</sup> for super- and subscripts.
    • <sub>...</sub> to set the font color in HEX encoding.
  • Some symbols do not appear correctly, such as ‣.
  • All of the above formatting also appears correctly in the "What's New" section.

Google Play site specials :

  • Some HTML tags work only on the website:
    • <font color="#000000">...</font> for shaving.
  • Plain text appears in the "What's New" section (and HTML formatting will be shown as plain text);
