: Facebook HTML?
: DerpyTurtle January 22, 2013, 02:58:13 AM

Is there a way to use HTML or any web design language on facebook to alter text or anything?


i.e.


This is a <i>random</i> status..


To prove my point I italicized the word random, could I possibly do this in a facebook comment or status?

I don't use Facebook, but I don't think so. Security measures.

Why haven't you actually tested it for yourself? Or would you feel embarrassed that maybe someone will see plaintext HTML tags?

No, but I heard somewhere Facebook were going to allow users to change the colour of their status for a small fee.

Imagine the mayhem that would be ensured by

:

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans, Comic Sans MS; color:red; font-size: 60.0em;"> LOL I HOPE YOU LIKE MY STATUS. </span>
Of course they could limit the size and all that, but most users are stupid and might not be able to grasp it [HTML].
Maybe a workaround for the users' low intellect would be to use a lightweight markup language like BBCode.

I am sure if facebook were to allow that, it would not be by inserting HTML, but rather with predefined values.
Also you can always edit the HTML code of a website. Only locally though.
Use "Inspect element" if with Opera, or install FireBug if with Firefox.
