Issue with a long title in the Section marker field

Hi! First at all maybe this is not the right way to use the Section marker. But I need to add a long title in this field and I'm having problems with kerning.

 

Any solution for splitting / adding a line break in this field? I edited the kerning of this Paragraph Style but it doesn't work.

 

Thanks in advance!

This is a limitation of the program. Many things such as markers and variables are treated as single characters in the text flow and cannot break across lines so they get "squished" into the available space. The only solutionis a bigger space or shorter text string.
