Question

I’ve seen apps post links with “captions” to user’s walls and they have a newline in them. Foursquare is one of these apps.

I cannot figure out how to get a newline recognized and I’ve tried everything, including just passing in “\r\n”, “\n”, etc.

(note: I’m talking about publishing to a user’s wall — http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/post/)

Answer 1

Turns out the way to do this easily is to provide both caption and description parameters with the HTTP POST. Caption will be the first line, and Description will act as the second.
