    Default Menu item text wrap

    Suggestion on how to best wrap a menu item on a horizontal navigation?

    For instance, if the menu header is something like,

    "product type category one" to display it like

    "product type
    category one"

    The menuData.xml sets the horizontal nav header and links them to the product category pages.

    Tried white-space and other options on the style, template, menuData, no luck so far.

    Thanks in advance.

    on menuData.xml??

    test <br> on menuData.xml, when putting <br> between the text it disables the rest of the line

    sample nav header line
    <SiteMap>
    <item Text="product type category one"" NavigateUrl="product-type-category-one".aspx" />

    the solution...

    Edit menuData.xml and style.css files.

    <item Text="product&#xA0;type category&#xA0;one" TextWrap="true" TextAlign="center" NavigateUrl="product-type-category-one.aspx" />

    before:
    product type category one

    after:
    product type
    category one

    Linking the text with "&#xA0;", xml special character, helps specify where to wrap the text, without the "&#xA0;", displays four lines of wrapped text for every space between the texts.

    Then you may further edit the presentation on the css side.

    Glad to test alternative approach as well.
