What works well in posts
Facebook posts are often long, so styling helps most when it adds structure:
- A bold first line works like a headline in the feed.
- Bold section labels, such as ๐๐ก๐๐ง and ๐๐ก๐๐ซ๐, help people scan event posts.
- Italic suits quotes and memorial posts.
- Strikethrough is a quick way to mark an item as sold or a plan as changed.
Keep posts readable for everyone
Many people read Facebook on older phones or with screen readers. Styled letters can show as boxes on older devices, and some screen readers read each styled letter separately. Keep dates, places, prices and links in plain text so everyone gets the important details. See fancy text and accessibility.
Groups and pages
Each group can set its own rules about formatting and spam, and heavy glitch text in particular can look like spam to moderators. When in doubt, keep styling to one line.
