		+
		+	<xcart_dir>/skin/common_files/customer/main/product_details.tpl
		+
		+	* find this line:
		+
		+	<pre>
		+	<td class="descr">{$product.fulldescr\|default:$product.descr}</td>
		+
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	* and change it to:
		+
		+	<pre>
		+	<td class="descr">{eval var=$product.fulldescr\|default:$product.descr}</td>
		+	</pre>
		+
