Is it possible to format the description of a Facebook event page?

Question

I manage the Facebook page for an Orchestra, and the plain text format of the event description makes it difficult to create a readable listing. I'd like to be able to use bold, italics, bullets, etc., in the description of these Facebook events. Is there any way to do this (or perhaps even include arbitrary HTML)?

Answer 1

There isn't a way to add formatting to the event description; it does not accept HTML markup. If you have event details that you want formatted in a certain way, I suggest putting the details on a separate web page and pasting the URL into the event description, or post a link on the event's wall. It will open in a separate tab when clicked.
