title

Any string with a minimum of 3 characters, up to 60 characters. Urls are not allowed as part of the title.

description

The description field of the ad. All HTML elements except for the ones below will be removed:

<i> <em> <b> <strong> <ul> <li> <u> <br/>

The description can also contain Wiki-formatting. It is recommended to not rely on this feature, since it is probably going to change in the future. But since it has impact on how the description is rendered, it is mentioned here.

We support the following Wikiformatting:

  • Bold: **bold**

  • Italic: //italic//

  • Underline: __underline__

  • Lists:
    * item1
* item2

The result of this support is that it is currently not possible to add the character combinations needed for the Wiki formatting literally in the description. So for example, there is currently no way of including **hi** in a description, because this will be rendered as bold.
