{

$a=explode(',',$MenuTitle);
$MenuTitle=$a[0]."<br/>".$a[1];

In your page class, create a method like:

function MultiLineTitle($delimiter = ",") {
	$title = explode($delimiter, $this->MenuTitle);
	foreach($title as $key => $value)
		$title[$key] = Convert::raw2xml($value);
	return implode("<br />", $title);
}

Then in your template:

$MultiLineTitle

If you want to use something other than "," to mark the division between text:

$MultiLineTitle(#)

etc...

Hello Hamish
As per your instruction I have created the method in page.php and I replaced $MenuTitle with $MultiLineTitle but when I did that none of the menu title appears in the page.I have added a dropdown menu in my website.May be thtat is causing the problem so i am providing you the code of navigation.ss page

Navigation.ss

<!-- [if IE6]><div id="IE6"><![endif]-->
<ul id="menu1">
<% control Menu(1) %>
<% if Children %>
<li class="$LinkingMode"><a href="$Link" class="sub" title="View more info about $Title"><span>$MenuTitle</span><!--[if gte IE 7]><!--></a><!--<![endif]-->
<!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]-->
<ul class="fly $LinkingMode">
<% control Children %>
<% if Children %>
<li class="$LinkingMode"><a href="$Link" class="fly" title="View more info about $Title"><span>$MenuTitle</span><!--[if gte IE 7]><!--></a><!--<![endif]-->
<!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]-->
<ul>
<% control Children %>
<li><a href="$Link" title="View more about $Title" class="$LinkingMode">$MenuTitle</a></li>
<% end_control %>
</ul><!--[if lte IE 6]></td></tr></table></a><![endif]-->
</li>
<% else %>

<li><a href="$Link" title="View more about $Title" class="$LinkingMode">$MenuTitle</a></li>
<% end_if %>
<% end_control %>
</ul>
