I may have missed it, but is there a way to display more than one line of text on a button?

Most components support basic HTML formatting. Also, on components like buttons, the line won’t be wrapped automatically unless HTML formatting is used.

So, try just putting “” (without quotes) in front of your button text. This will cause it to wrap automatically. You can get fancier than that if necessary.
