This snippet uses the GIFBUILDER to generate a multiple line text (eg. Page title). To reach this listNum and splitChar are used. splitChar sets the string that is used to explode the text. With listNum we can access each part of the exploded string.

In this example the GIFBUILDER creates an image with a width of 400 , the height is ajusted as needed. To add a line break to the title just insert a | in the title. The character that is responsable for the linebreak in our GIFBUILDER object, can be changed through the splitChar.

lib.getPageTitle = IMAGE
lib.getPageTitle.altText.field = title
lib.getPageTitle.file = GIFBUILDER
lib.getPageTitle.file { 	
  XY = 400,[10.h]+[20.h]+[30.h]+[40.h]+20
  10 = TEXT
  10.text.field = title
  10.text.listNum.splitChar=|
  10.text.listNum=0
  10.fontSize=24
  10.fontColor=  #333333	
  10.offset=0,24
  10.niceText=1 
  20 < .10
  20.text.listNum=1
  20.offset=0,24+[10.h]+6
  30 < .10
  30.text.listNum=2
  30.offset=0,24+[10.h]+[20.h]+12
  40 < .10
  40.text.listNum=3
  40.offset=0,24+[10.h]+[20.h]+[30.h]+18
}

This is great. But doesn't the pipe (|) end up in the alt and title tag? Is there a good way to convert the pipe to a space for us in alt and title tags? I use this approach in a menu and the pipe also lands in the page title and sitemap...

Not a huge problem, but I'd love suggestions for resolving it.

@Chris

use the abstract field.
heres is my code

--------------------------

# to use the abstract field add it in $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['FE']['addRootLineFields']
# it's in the install tool

lib.all.header.title = IMAGE
lib.all.header.title.file = GIFBUILDER
lib.vd09.all.header.title.file {
XY = 300,150
backColor = #ffffff

10 = TEXT
10 {
text.data = fullRootLine:2, abstract, slide
text.listNum.splitChar=|
text.listNum=0

fontColor = #000000
align = right
wordSpacing = 2
fontSize = 25
fontFile = fileadmin/templates/library/fonts/myfont.ttf
offset = 0,80
}

#second line
20 < .10
20.text.listNum = 1
20.offset = 0,110

#third line
30 < .10
30.text.listNum = 2
30.offset = 0,140
}


have fun ;)
