In Vaadin 7, the Panel caption excepts HTML.

Example, <sub>subscript</sub> and <br/> commands.

I don't know about version prior to 7.

The only way to get multi-line captions is to use a GridLayout and emulate captions with Labels.

I don't think you can. Can you use TextArea instead?

Update: Define a custom style in your style.css: 

.v-caption-multiline {
    white-space: pre;
}

And then use in in your code to separate the lines by \n:

TextField t = new TextField("A very long caption\nA very long caption ");
t.addStyleName("multiline");
