The Extensible Markup Language  XML  1 1 W3C Recommendation say     All line breaks MUST have been normalized on input to  xA as described in 2 11 End-of-Line Handling  so the rest of this algorithm operates on text normalized in this way      The link is http   www w3 org TR 2006 REC-xml11-20060816  AVNormalize  Then you can write     lt td title  lineone  amp  xA  linetwo  amp  xA  etc     gt

If you re looking to put line breaks into the tooltip that appears on mouseover  there s no reliable crossbrowser way to do that  You d have to fall back to one of the many Javascript tooltip code samples

One way to achieve similar effect would be through CSS    lt td gt Cell content     lt div class  popup  gt      This is the popup       lt br gt      Another line of popup     lt  div gt   lt  td gt    And then use the following in CSS   td div popup   display  none    td hover div popup   display  block  position  absolute      You will want to add some borders and background to make the popup look decent  but this should sketch the idea  It has some drawbacks though  for example the popup is not positioned relative to mouse but relative to the containing cell

This should be OK  but is Internet Explorer specific    lt td title  lineone linetwo  etc        As others have mentioned  the only other way is to use an HTML   JavaScript based tooltip if you re only interested in the tooltip  If this is for accessibility then you will probably need to stick to just single lines for consistency
