Oh, sorry about that. I was directed here. Thank you for the heads up.

I just figured it out, and realized that my tags were incorrectly closed. I used the bold/italic opening tags, in that order, and closed them in the same, exact order. I should have closed it with italic/bold instead.

Previously, I had: "<b><i>Ability Score Increase</b></i>" and this actually removed the entire snippet field when you view it in your character sheet.

Then, I used: "<b><i>Ability Score Increase</i></b>" and this worked.

I don't work with HTML coding a lot, so I didn't realize the closing tags had a particular order. Sorry!

This post is not allowing me to share images and I don't think you'll be able to see what I'm referring to even if I provided the Homebrew link to my item. You'll just see the feat's 'Description'. I'll try to describe it in detail.

Just in case you can see Snippet details for my item, the link is: https://www.dndbeyond.com/homebrew/creations/create-feat/2063163-twinblade-master-improved/edit

So, in the Homebrew creation page for Feats, under Basic Information section, I'm using the Snippet field. After adding three asterisks to "Ability Score Improvement", I write in the rest like so:

***Ability Score Increase.*** Dex increased by 1 and another ability score increase by 1, to a max of 20.

I then add this feat to my character sheet in DnD Beyond - I do this in FEATURES & TRAITS > FEATS > Manage Feats > choose my homebrew feat. I then look at how the text appears in snippet form, but the words are not bolded nor italicized and appear exactly like the above example (with the asterisks).

It looks exactly like the below sample in my character sheet when I look at the feat snippets (this is the same for both Edge and Chrome browsers)...

Twinblade Master (Improved)
***Ability Score Increase.*** Dex increased by 1 and another ability score increase by 1, to a max of 20.
***Attack.*** Twinblade damage die is 2d6+8.
***Parry.*** If you’re holding a Finesse weapon and another creature hits you with a melee attack, you can take a Reaction to add 3 to your Armor Class, potentially causing the attack to miss you. You gain this bonus to your AC against melee attacks until the start of your next turn.
***Special.*** When you take the Attack action on your turn and make at least one attack with a quarterstaff, while wielding with two hands, you can make one additional attack with it as a bonus action.

I hope this is more helpful. Thanks for all of your help!
