Answer 1

<br /> did work if you are using qTip

Answer 2

For me, a 2-step solution (combination of formatting the title and adding the style) worked, as follows:

1) Format the title attrbiute:

<a ref="#" title="First Line
                  Second Line
                  Third line">Hover Me</a>

2) Add this style to the tips element:

white-space: pre-line;

Tested in IE8, Firefox 22, and Safari 5.1.7.

Answer 3

Just add this code snippet in your script:

    $(function () {
        $('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip()
    });

and ofcourse as mentioned in above answers the data-html should be "true". This will allow you to use html tags and formatting inside the value of title attribute.
