Newline or carriage return in TextSymbol

[AndrewJones]

Is there anyway to make a TextSymbol multi-lined?  Our map is quite small and many of the labels go off the map so I need to reduce the width of the label by putting some values onto two lines.

The product manager does not want to use a popup as it must look like a label.

Any clues?

I don't have a sample in front of me to test, but have your tried \\n in the text?

Did anyone ever find a solution to this?  I'm trying to do the same thing but \n or \r don't work.  Any other suggestions?

Bump - I too have the same question.  Is it possible to have multiline text rendered via TextSymbol?

Thanks!

Not at this time, this is a limitation in the API (and underlying dojox.gfx components we use). We're looking at how we can fix this in the future.

Hello,

Using newlines "\n" can be supported using the following solution.

Please vote upon the following idea which is precisely about this.

What solution? There is nothing here in these links.

I just found this on github: Chaussette/esri.symbol.MultiLineTextSymbol · GitHub from a comment by Simon in ArcGIS Ideas.

However when you include the script src use (or host it yourself):
