title line break

I'd also love to know if there is a method for doing this. Many of the articles I publish are multi-part, and it would be great to have a way to break them up.

I’m trying to do the same at the moment. From a semantic point of view, this is problematic IMO because adding line break information to text rendered inside a header tag would mean adding display markup at the wrong place.

Anyway, one of my customers is asking for it, and he probably won’t buy the semantic argument. ;-) So my first and admittedly hacky route would be to add some unobtrusive character (maybe ‘•’ or ‘·’ ) in the title text at the place where the line break is intended and convert this to a <br/> when the title is rendered. Putting a <br/> in the title text will produce strange results for those using RSS readers, so an inconspicuous, yet easily insertable character would probably be best suited.

I’m going to implement this in one of my local modules and report back here, but I guess you shouldn’t expect this to become mainstream, as one shouldn’t insert display markup where it doesn’t belong. Additionally, a forced layout will break when users change display text size.

Cheers,

I solved this by adding a subtitle field and some theming in node.tpl.php and page.tpl.php.

I used CSS to break up my title over two parts. I used the "width" tag and made it progressively smaller till the title broke over two parts.

I used the instructions here: http://drupal.org/node/28537

but added a break also, so my template.php looks like this:

/* Inserting HTML into node titles
 * http://drupal.org/node/28537
 */

function bb2html($text) {
  $bbcode = array(
                  "[strong]", "[/strong]",
                  "[b]",  "[/b]",
                  "[i]",  "[/i]",
                  "[br]",
                  "[em]", "[/em]"
                );
  $htmlcode = array(
                "<strong>", "</strong>",
                "<strong>", "</strong>",
                "<em>", "</em>",
                "<br />",
                "<em>", "</em>"
              );
  return str_replace($bbcode, $htmlcode, $text);
}

function bb_strip($text) {
  $bbcode = array(
                  "[strong]", "[/strong]",
                  "[b]",  "[/b]",
                  "[i]",  "[/i]",
                  "[br]",
                  "[em]", "[/em]"
                );
  return str_replace($bbcode, '', $text);
}

I only wanted to handle line breaks. I make use of the 'pipe' character to delimit a line break:

This title is split|Now on the second line

Copy block.tpl.php from /modules/block to your
/templates folder,

Look for the line where the block title is output:
<?php print $block->subject ?>

Change it to
<?php print str_replace('|','<br />',$block->subject) ?>

Remember to clear your theme cache so the template file will be recognised!

- controling line breaks in block title -
this replacement : print str_replace('|','
',$block->subject)
works right, and more than this tells how to modify whatever you want, from default template
to specific template,
Thanks very much...

To create a line break you need to use the constant PASS_THROUGH

Example

drupal_set_title('text on line 1
text on line 2', PASS_THROUGH);
