A workaround can be to place <html> inside <fieldset> even if you do not plan to add <input>. (If you have no <input>, make sure to make submitButton="false".)
You can always add a blank <row> with only <html> in it. This is not exactly a workaround because <html> work the same way as in any other <row>. It also has the side effect of showing in a different background colour from .

Technically you can add a line break in your description by adding one whitespace after your first line, adding an entire line of non-whitespace characters (enough to force a newline), adding one whitespace after that, and then adding your next line.
<description>First line ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Second line</description>
This gives me:
First line
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Second line

It's not elegant, and is going to give you resizing/browser problems, but Splunk's SimpleXML was designed by a 5 year old, so

"5 year old" sounds about right!
I used to do great things with Advanced XML, now I am struggling just to make radio buttons work correctly and prevent table queries from running immediately upon loading a dashboard.

I have never found a way to do this. In the Panels, you can comment out the title tag and use your own html and then use <br> but Splunk will not allow html in the dashboard node.

How can I split a single value into two separate values in a single value panel?
Currently, my single value panel displays:
Total :100 Error: 20
I would like to display:
Total: 100
Error :20
It works for a table, but not for a single value panel. How can I achieve this?
