JAWS reading headings that break twice

Howdy all!

I’ve come across an interesting problem. Some of my colleagues are writing html headings with breaks and the result is that JAWS is reading each line as a separate heading.

For example:

<h2>Starbucks<br/>Coffee<h2>

is read as H2 Starbucks and H2 Coffee. Is there a better way to code the HTML so headers that have two lines will be read as one header?

Thanks in advance for your help!
