Answer 1

OlliZi answer is not valid if a parameter contains a <br>, and Kamel's answer is not valid if you don't use the same iReport version... So this is the universal answer in the .jrxml file.

Add markup="html" to the used style or in the reportElement, without using a specific editor. Very usefull for fast and compatible fix.

<textField>
    <reportElement x="0" y="0" width="100" height="50" markup="html" />
    <textFieldExpression>
        <![CDATA["Some text "+ $P{ReportTitle} +" my name +"<br/>"+ is "]]>
    </textFieldExpression>
</textField>

Or, if you use a style:

<style name="myStyle" markup="html" />

<textField>
    <reportElement x="0" y="0" width="100" height="50" style="myStyle" />
    <textFieldExpression>
        <![CDATA["Some text "+ $P{ReportTitle} +" my name +"<br/>"+ is "]]>
    </textFieldExpression>
</textField>

Answer 2

You can also use following string:

"Some text " + $P{ReportTitle} + " my name " + "\n" + " is ".

Or shorter:

"Some text " + $P{ReportTitle} + " my name \n is ".

Answer 3

Set Markup property to html, and make your string like this :

"Some text " + $P{ReportTitle} + " my name " + "<br>" + " is ".

set Stretch with overflow property to true
