How to add a line break to list item title

Site URL: https://bassoon-aardvark-m9nc.squarespace.com/board

I am using the list feature to show board member photos on a client's site. I would like a line break in the Content Title so that it is First Name <br> Last Name. This currently happens automatically for most names, but not all due to length. It is not possible to add html or returns in the Content Title field. So how might I achieve this?

Hi. You need to add a piece of javascript code for that.

Can you add & keep <br/> for a name? We can check easier

Honored to receive a reply from you, @tuanphan! 

I'm not sure what you mean. I'm not able to add a break tag in the title of a list. Please see the image I've attached. I know I need to inject JS for this task but not exactly sure how to make it work.

Hi,

I mean add br to TITLE field. It should be: Barbara <br/> Hall

When you're done, let me know. I will test some code to make Squarespace allow br tag to run.

Oh, I see what you mean. Okay, I have completed that. And thank you so much!

Add this to Last line in Code Injection > Footer

<style>
  $(document).ready(function(){
  $("h2.list-item-content__title").each(function(){
    $(this).html($(this).text());
  });
});
</style>

I've completed this but it has not done what's expected. The </br> tag still shows in the HTML.

ah, typo, script, not style, use this new code

<script>
  $(document).ready(function(){
  $("h2.list-item-content__title").each(function(){
    $(this).html($(this).text());
  });
});
</script>

I probably should've caught that myself! Thank you SO much for your time and code. It worked! Very grateful for your awesome humanity.

Just wanted to add to this since I was referencing the same question and couldn't get the code to work. ( It seems obvious now, but wasn't thinking at the time. )  In order for the code to work you need to load the jquery into the header code injection.  So in all: 

Header add -

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.0/jquery.min.js"></script>

Footer add - 

<script>
  $(document).ready(function(){
  $("h2.list-item-content__title").each(function(){
    $(this).html($(this).text());
  });
});
</script>

Hope that helps. 

Hi! Thank you so much for such an easy solution! I had been struggling to figure this out. Is there a way to change the font size of the text in the second line to make it smaller? Something like they did here but with the title?

Thank you very much!

Can you share link to page where you use title? We can adjust code easier
