When in an event i select options export to ical.
the date and timing of the event export to the cal, but not the description of the event, see attached.
Is this correct?

hi Alan.

I just tried to export one of your event to ical and everything works just fine, description is in the file as it should be. Maybe try to use different text editor?

Hi Chris
Could you confirm which one works fine? Please see the attached screenshots
I only have two events at the moment – I see in the 1st event it pulls thru 90% of the description but not the register here link – and also it appears to have HTML code in it , in the second event it only pulls the first line of the information and again appears to have HTML code in it
regards
Alan

hi Alan.

It seems that only url wasn't exported, let me please consult with our developers about this case since I'm not sure if t's even possible.

Hi Chris
any new from the developers?

Hi, Alan.

Could you attach ical files for both of your events?

both attached

Hi Alan.

This is what ical file contains:

So there is everything, date of start and end, summary and description.

Its rather IMPORT issue than EXPORT :) I tested your Event ical files and in Google second paragrapg was always removed. So only first <p></p> is imported. I'm afraid that we can't do anything about it as it depends from application that imports ical file...

But there is soultion for this. Just place everything within one <p></p> so your description will look like:
