OBIEE Handling long dashboard page names

First of all I don’t think long dashboard names are really that clever. But still if someone else is paying the bill…..

You have the risk of running out of background space:

Still you can control the names a bit by using HTML BR and NOBR tags:

Hi John, funny one.. :)

One little remark: it's better to close the NOBR tag (/NOBR) at the end of the text you don't want to be broken.

Hello.

I have the same problem with the name of a dashboard pages.
I try following these instructions but did not result.
The obtained result was (This is a example of a page name after the modification):
"Cost Price<*BR*>Maintenance"

Then I replaced the <*BR*> for [br \] but did not result because, although the line is divided into two, the [br \] appears in the sentence:
"Cost Price[br\]
Maintenance"

My OBIEE version is 10.1.3.4.2

Perhaps it is some configuration problem?
Apparently he has not recognized html tags...

Another person tested in OBIEE version 10.1.3.4.1 and resulted correctly...
So, what is wrong with OBIEE version 10.1.3.4.2? Any idea?

Note: <*BR*> without any *

Thanks
