I’m currently adding verbose tooltips to our site, and I’d like (without having to resort to a whizz-bang jQuery plugin, I know there are many!) to use carriage returns to format the tooltip.
To add the tip I’m using the title
attribute. I’ve looked around the usual sites and using the basic template of:
<a title="Tool?Tip?On?New?Line">link with tip</a>
I’ve tried replacing the ?
with:
<br />
&013; /
\r\n
Environment.NewLine
(I’m using C#)
None of the above works. Is it possible?

The latest specification allows line feed characters, so a simple line break inside the attribute or entity
(note that characters #
and ;
are required) are OK.
