1 Answer. In QGIS 2.8 Composer, there's a Wrap text on option in the Item properties tab when you add a legend which lets you enter a character where you want the new line to start. What I normally do is use the * character in the layer's name for where I want the new line. Then input the * into the Wrap text option.
