How to add a line break in ASP.NET Boilerplate menu from Navigation Provider with localization

Question

I have defined menu items using the Navigation Provider with localization. How can I add a line break in the middle of the menu name?

Navigation Provider

public override void SetNavigation(INavigationProviderContext context)
    {
        context.Manager.MainMenu
            .AddItem(
                new MenuItemDefinition(
                    "Menu Item",
                    new LocalizableString("MenuItem", MyAppConsts.LocalizationSourceName),
                    url: "#/menuitem",
                    icon: "fa fa-clipboard"
                    )
            );
    }

My Localization Source File

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <localizationDictionary culture="en">
      <texts>
        <text name="MenuItem" value="Menu Item" />
      </texts>
    </localizationDictionary>

cshtml file where the menu is created

<div class="sidebar-inner">

            <nav>
                <ul class="nav nav-sidebar">
                    <li ng-repeat="menuItem in vm.menu.items" ng-class="{active: vm.currentMenuName == menuItem.name}" class="nav-parent">
                        <a ng-if="!menuItem.items.length" ng-href="{{menuItem.url}}"><i class="{{menuItem.icon}}" ng-if="menuItem.icon"></i><span>{{menuItem.displayName}}</span><span class="fa arrow"></span></a>
                        <a ng-if="menuItem.items.length" href="" ><i class="{{menuItem.icon}}" ng-if="menuItem.icon"></i><span>{{menuItem.displayName}}</span><span class="fa arrow"></span></a>
                        
                        <ul ng-if="menuItem.items.length" class="children collapse">
                            <li ng-repeat="menuSubItem in menuItem.items">
                                <a ng-href="{{menuSubItem.url}}"><span>{{menuSubItem.displayName}}</span></a>
                            </li>
                        </ul>
                    </li>
                </ul>
            </nav>
 </div>

I want it shown like

 Menu
 Item

Not like this

Menu Item

Thank you in advance.

I have figured it out using string split. In the XML source I have added a '$' where I want to break the menu name into two lines.

<texts>
    <text name="MenuItem1" value="Long$Name" />
    <text name="MenuItem2" value="Short Name" />
</texts>

Then I used string split to break the menu display name into two and displayed it in two lines with
tag.

<a ng-if="!menuItem.items.length" ng-href="{{menuItem.url}}">
       <i class="{{menuItem.icon}}" ng-if="menuItem.icon"></i>
       <span>
          {{menuItem.displayName.split('$')[0]}} <br> {{menuItem.displayName.split('$')[1]}}
       </span><span class="fa arrow"></span>
</a>
