I made a program that generates ASCII art from an image. I want users to be able to copy and paste that ASCII art to their wall and have it display properly.
Problem:
Facebook doesn't use a monospace font.
Does anyone have any ideas on a workaround?
A:
have you tried the following html tags (they may get filtered, but may not)
<pre> my code </pre>
<tt> my code </tt>

They are escaped unfortunately.

bummer, the only other thing I can think of is to use a service like gist.github.com or pastie.org and some of those urls give a preview in facebook, aka the youtube thumbnail preview.

A:
Basically the question is: can you post a formatted text on the wall? The answer is no, sorry. Facebook currently doesn't support any html, markdown-like syntax, or html entities in their wall posts, only plain text.
