How do you bold and italicize on Facebook posts?

There's no option in Facebook for bold text, nor is there one for the fancy stylized text that people like to add to their public posts. This is true – Facebook does not allow you to format text in the message box when you make a post to your timeline.

Can I format text in a Facebook post?

Enter your text and to add formatting to some text, highlight the text with the mouse, then the available formatting options will pop up above the text. For additional formatting options click the icon with the "4 horizontal lines" next to your text, or click the "image" icon next to that one to insert an image.
