Under the description category, simple Markdown elements can be used to customize the formatting of your project description. For example, a description (longDescription) could look like this:

The above example also illustrates the various Markdown design elements that you can use for a description.

This description then appears as follows in the software directory:

In publiccode.yml, you can assign your own software to a software suite using the softwareSuite key. This assigns the entry in the software directory to a parent project:

![Screenshot des Eintrags im softwareverzeichnis von einer Softwaresuite](/../assets/images/softwareverzeichnis/Screenshot-Eintrag-Software-Suite.png "Screenshot, welcher einen Ausschnitt aus dem Eintrag des softwareverzeichnisses der Software openDesk zeigt. In dem Ausschnitt sieht man die Tabs "Aktive Nutzung", "Teilprojekte" und den Hinweis, "Die Suite openDesk besteht aus verschiedenen Teilprojekten")

If your project meets the necessary requirements, it can be awarded various badges. These show the status of the project in terms of security, maintenance, and reuse. In the badge documentation, you will find more detailed information about the requirements for each badge and how to obtain them.

To submit a reuse for a software, you must follow these steps:

1. First, click on Submit use on the Activate Reuse page. You will now be redirected to the openCode search.
2. Now open the project entry that matches your search term.
3. After clicking on Submit use, the form for final confirmation of the corresponding reuse will open.

Once you have completed and submitted this form, you have successfully submitted the reuse.

This is probably because your publiccode.yml file is incorrect or entries in your publiccode.yml file have been forgotten. Instructions for creating the publiccode.yml can be found here in the guide.
