         ##html_description_file_url##file URL##html_description_file_url##
         Note: If want to add a description then we recommend using this URL format.
       • To Use Images in Description
         While adding the Magento attribute product name you can add the media gallery using the HTML code.
         • ##media_gallery_{image_number}## => By using this tag it will replace your actual image URL where {image_number} will be the numeric number which is actually the priority of image in the media gallery entered by you.
         • ##media_gallery_tag_{image_number}## => This tag is basically used before and after HTML tag of an image which will automatically remove if the image for that priority is not found in Magento store.
           Example of these tags for your better understanding are:
           • ##media_gallery_tag_0##<p><img src=”##media_gallery_0##” alt=”Girl in a jacket” width=”500″ height=”600″></p>##media_gallery_tag_0##
           • ##media_gallery_tag_1##<p><img src=”##media_gallery_1##” alt=”Girl in a jacket” width=”500″ height=”600″></p>##media_gallery_tag_1##
           • ##media_gallery_tag_2##<p><img src=”##media_gallery_2##” alt=”Girl in a jacket” width=”500″ height=”600″></p>##media_gallery_tag_2##
