How do you format Facebook Wall posts?

Question

There doesn't appear to be any formatting links when I do a Facebook Wall post. Is there any way to do formatting like HTML, markup, etc?

Answer 1

there is a way you can use formatting markup, you need to create a Facebook Note, it lets you use a subset of the HTML language, letting you insert images and create links, bold text etc

Answer 2

This site offers one solution: by replacing the characters themselves with unicode equivalents, you can format text anywhere.

This is some example text showing all the different formatting options offered.

However, if your users don't have a font installed that has the various characters available, they might see little boxes or question marks instead.

I think the only way to do this is by using a 3rd Party Application.

1. go to Profile HTML Facebook application page
2. click on Go to application and then on Allow
3. insert your HTML code inside the “your code” text area
4. click on submit to save your HTML code
5. click on add to profile, select wall and info tab and choose add
