Simply forget about that splitChar solution and try a completely different
approach
 - again taken from the TYPO3 cookbook ;-)

GIFBUILDER can render multiple line content by default.
So the only thing you have to do is to use a multiple line field for the
title _or_ make the title field a multiple line field.
(You could switch the page type to "advanced" and use the abstract field, or
you could change the TCA for the title field to render BE form entries as
textarea)
Then you can use ENTER instead of a splitChar and this will be recognized by
the GIFBUILDER.
This way you don't need any if-statement, since the whole text is rendered
in Part 10 of the GIFBUILDER.
