 == What Extra Fields module does ==
-If you think the '<u>Product details</u>' form used in X-Cart to provide information about products is lacking some fields, you should consider using X-Cart's <u>Extra Fields</u> module. This module allows you to create custom fields for the '<u>Product details</u>' form.
+<u>Extra Fields</u> is a built-in X-Cart module that allows you to add custom fields to X-Cart's '<u>Product details</u>' form. For example, the module can be used to add '<u>Author</u>' or  '<u>ISBN</u>' fields to a product that is a book:
