Is it possible break up a long header or footer line so that they are positioned in two or more vertically aligned lines using fancyhdr? For example I want to break up

"This is an example of a very long header or footer line

into:

This is an example

of a very long header or footer line

What is wrong with just \lhead{this is an example\\of a very long header or footer line} for example? What do you mean when you say "vertically aligned" in this case? The lines are supposed to be underneath each other if I understand correctly, how does verical alignment make sense? – Roelof Spijker Dec 12 '11 at 16:04
Simple and perfect answer. I don't know why I didn't think of the most obvious. Thanks, Torbjorn. – user3671 Dec 13 '11 at 6:58

Apparently my comment was the solution the OP was after. I'll add it as an answer then.

You can simply use the normal way of making newlines: \\. So for instance: \lhead{this is an example\\of a very long header or footer line}.
