Fb:name

Description

Renders the name of the user specified, optionally linked to his or her profile.

This also works for Facebook Pages with the ID of the Page passed as the uid parameter.

You can use this tag for both the subject and the object of a sentence describing an action. For example, if a user

with the user ID $tagger tags a photo of a user with the user ID $tagee, you could say:

<fb:name uid="$tagger" capitalize="true" /> tagged a photo of <fb:name subjectid="$tagger" uid="$tagee" />
