_Does not italicize_ though it underlines. As the underscores would imply.
Still looking around for the italics!

Haha! Oh my God…I’m such a dumbass xD Thanks for pointing it out!

Me and a friend of mine are looking for italic too!
It seems it’s impossible to find :s

I think you’re right Giulia! But you never know…

Yeah :S It’s underline not italics! Keep looking for italics! :’(

facebook with an _underscore_ next to the word is underline. not italic

no – Yeah you’re right! It does say that in the post and in the comments, but still you’re absolutely correct to point it out again!

Thanks for the tips because my friends won’t tell me how to do the bold and italic words and keep boasting about. Thanks for telling me how to do it!

Anybody found how to do italics yet!?

:putnam::putnam: type that and you get weird guy

Does anyone know how to do the sleepy one??

:) :( :P :D :O ;) 8) 8| >:( :\ :’( 3:) O:) :-* :o :v :3 :|] :putnam: ♪ ♫ ☆ ☼

I’m just interested to know what is the font used that can supply those last graphics?

how about color???

Rachel – I don’t think it’s possible! Let’s keep looking for colors in Facebook chat!!

thanks! =D

Can somebody help me plz ?

dash on either side -makes it strike through-

Amazing, thanks! Wish i could find out italics though..

-dashes- do not make strike through, sorry.

No, dashes don’t do anything. i tried to do the slashes for italics, nothing.

FUCK YEAA! THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP! <3 MUCH LOVEE!!! I LOVE PUTNAM HE IS MY BOYFRIEND !

try surround with *_blablabla_*

Erm.. *_blablabla_* makes it bold and underlined.
does anyone know how to italic it ?
or maybe COLOUR it ? :L

Try (^^^)

hm any solutions to italics yet ?

They still don’t seem to have impemented it yet :(

Right, there’s no way implemented yet to italicize. I wanted to know for sure so I poked and prodded through the code and found the bit that handles bold and underlines, but there’s nothing there for italics. (My most recent post right now on my website link is about this topic).

………

any solution of big size?

big size? just hit me up! haha

To make your text in Italics: your text goes here
Same for bold: text
and underline: text

Well… hell! That didn’t work… I was trying to show you what you need to type, NOT actually make my words italicized, bold,…

trying again-
Italics= type in front of your text
then, type after your text

Bold= type in front of your text
then, type after your text

Underline= type in front of your text
then, type after your text

DAMMIT!!!

is it possible to do bold or underline on your status? :(

<(") and (^^^) Are shark and penguin, nobody seems to know them
My sister's friend said that they have found italics once though…

can i just say when u put underscores before abd after ur writing it underlines it, it does not make it italics.

I love how Jessica blatantly did not read ANY of the post comments, lol :p

oopsies

if you do *_your words go here_* it underlines it and bolds it

Try /italic/, \italic\, {italic}, and >italic>

i like how putnam puts in his STUPID FACE but can’t put in italics

Okay really, in forums you put in: (Please note the _ are not needed in the actual code)

[_b][/b_] = Bold
[_i][/i_} = Italics
[_u][/u_] = Underline

Facebook has a COMPLETELY independent chat program. The programming code for facebook chat is a simple one that is used for psychobabble(c)!!!

What it will most likely end up being is something along the lines of // so just wait for the next big Facebook update.

And also Note that with italics, my shift key got stuck so it should end with [/i_]. Thanks.

The words are between the ” ][ “

You can stack the effects as a *_bold underline_* and get both!

For italics, the the command text. This worx most elswhere!

Oops! Command should read text WITHOUT in the arrow brackets!

Naff! Use the left and right arrow brackets to enclose i and /i (beginning and end) of your text. HTH?!

Basically, due to the different coding used in both Facebook, and Facebook chat, as they are two seperate bodies, merged into a webpage, the text programming is different.

In Facebook, when writing notes etc, italics is available by using a form of JavaScript … by typing

Italic Text

this will work in the main Facebook body, such as notes.

However Facebook Chat uses a different form of coding, in which italic text, to my knowledge, hasn’t been written. So unfortunately, Italics is not available in Facebook Chat. However I’d love for someone to prove me wrong… Italics would definately be cool

That should have been read with square brackets …

like:
Italic Text

(but without the spaces in the square brackets)

holy crap. i did the penguin one cuz penguins are my favorite animal//// OH HOT DAMN!!!

hahaha bla bla !!!!!!! :putnam:

LOL just use *WORD* and then type with the *italic thingy on* then copy and paste it on facebook its that simple…..

_nice_

the italics doesn’t work. if you know how to use it then just type it with spaces between the characters so it doesn’t shot up as it should in this text. like * bold *

THIS IS REALLY AMAZIN!!

the italic thing won’t work of course! it will be underlined instead of italic.. tnx for this! :) my friend won’t teach me how.. so i decided to search it myself.. :)

_Hi Thanks 4 helping me with my italics_ *i already new how to do bold but thanks anyways *
