Facebook send dialog: adding a linebreak in the description

by

I had the same issue and eventually gave up. Facebook seems to have gone to great lengths to avoid letting us have any linebreaks in the description.

The one thing you can do is add a &caption=first%20line which gets you one linebreak between the caption and the description. (There’s a pretty short limit on how long the caption can be though – something like 80 characters.)

Update: this no longer works for send dialogs. It does still work for feed dialogs
