Facebook Markup Language (FBML) enables you to build full Facebook Platform applications that deeply

integrate into a user's Facebook experience. You can hook into several Facebook integration points, including

the profile, profile actions, Facebook canvas, News Feed and Mini-Feed.

FBML is an evolved subset of HTML with some elements removed, and others which have been added that are

specific to Facebook. You set the FBML for a profile box by calling profile.setFBML through the API . The

FBML is cached on Facebook's server until profile.setFBML is called again through a canvas page. For a high-

level technical spec for FBML, please see FBMLspec .
