Re: Insert </br> into article title field
Article titles are HTML-escaped, so this can’t be done. Also applies to the site slogan, as I learned recently, and presumably for the same reason.
Code is topiary

Re: Insert </br> into article title field
The good news is that I remember there was a plugin just for this. The bad news is I can’t recall the name. Try to search here or google.

Re: Insert </br> into article title field
I took a quick look but didn’t see a plugin. Here’s one workaround. If you don’t like that, I just thought of another. It’s a pseudo-plugin.
Keeping in mind that you want titles to look correct in feeds, pick a placeholder for line breaks. It will have to be something you wouldn’t mind seeing in cases where it doesn’t get replaced (e.g. RSS feeds), and it will have to be something you wouldn’t otherwise want to use in a title. The vertical bar | could work.
Where you now have <txp:title />, replace with <txp:output_form form="break_titles" />. Then make a form, type “misc”, called break_titles (or use a different name if you prefer). Put this in the form:
<txp:php>
global $thisarticle;
assert_article();
echo str_replace(' | ', '<br />', $thisarticle['title']);
</txp:php>
Note the string that gets replaced: ‘ | ‘, i.e. a vertical bar with a space on each side. Change this to whatever placeholder you pick.
YMMV.

Re: Insert </br> into article title field
I think you can skip a step if you go ahead and use the <br /> (or <em> or whatever you need) in your article title, but output it with
<txp:php>
global $thisarticle;
echo $thisarticle['title'];
</txp:php>instead of <txp:title />

Re: Insert </br> into article title field
You can, but then you will have titles in your RSS feed that look like:
My excellent article:<br />Part 2
which is why I suggested a workaround that would look OK in feeds too:
My excellent article: | Part 2
