How to Insert Bullets in Facebook Markup Language

The "<ul>" tag inserts bullets in FBML.

Facebook Markup Language, often referred to as simply FBML, is Facebook's equivalent of HTML, used in Web design. The FBML application allows a Facebook user to add a custom tab to his Facebook fan page and then customize the tab using Facebook Markup Language, which uses HTML tags. Inserting bullets in Facebook Markup Language is done using the HTML unordered list tag. Using bullets can help to set off a list from the other text and serve as a visual organizer.

Instructions

1. Open your FBML editor and click to move the cursor where you want to insert the bulleted list.

2. Open the unordered list tag by typing:

   <ul>

   This will mark the start of the bulleted list.

3. Enter each item of the bulleted list in the following format:

   <li>List Item</li>

   Replace "List Item" with the text you would like to appear after the bullet. Repeat this step to add each item you want to appear in the list.

4. Type:

   </ul>

   to close the unordered list tag and complete the bulleted list.
