Just use the entity code 
for a linebreak in a title attribute.
Just add a data attribute
data-html="true"
and you're good to go.
Eg. usage:
<i data-html="true" class="tooltip ficon-help-icon" twipsy-content-set="true" data-original-title= "<b>Hello</b> Stackoverflow" </i>
It has worked in majority of the tooltip plugins i have tried as of now.
So if you are using bootstrap4 then this will work.
<style>
.tooltip-inner {
white-space: pre-wrap;
}
</style>
<script>
$(function () {
$('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip()
})
</script>
<a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="auto" title=" first line 
 next line" href= ""> Hover me </a>
If you are using in Django project then we can also display dynamic data in tooltips like:
<a class="black-text pb-2 pt-1" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="auto" title="{{ post.location }} 
 {{ post.updated_on }}" href= "{% url 'blog:get_user_profile' post.author.id %}">{{ post.author }}</a>
The 
combined with the style white-space: pre-line; worked for me.
I found it. It can be done by simply doing like this
<a ref="#" title="First Line
Second Line
Third line">Hover Me</a>
\n
with the styling
.tooltip-inner {
white-space: pre-line;
}
worked for me.
