[Tex/LaTex] Class moderncv, style casual: title on 2 lines

Question

Is it possible to write the title of a resume on two lines on the right of the page. I explain myself:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv}        
\moderncvstyle{casual}                          
\moderncvcolor{blue}                            
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}    
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[scale=0.75]{geometry}
\name{John}{Doe}
\title{Resumé title\\ Second part of title}  

This doesn't work because it goes on the next line at the begin and not right. Can someone help me?

Answer 1

In command \makecvhead you can find the definition for the title:

  % optional title
  \ifthenelse{\equal{\@title}{}}{}{%
    \\[1.25em]\null% \null is required as there is no box on the line after \\, so glue such as \hfill (and leaders) disappear; this is in contrast to after \par, where the next line starts with an indent box (even after \noindent)
    \if@right\hfill\fi%
    \if@alternate%
      \titlestyle{\MakeLowercase\@title}%
    \else%
      \titlestyle{\@title}\fi%
    }\\[2.5em]%

To be able to use in your cv the commands

\title{Resumé title}
\titleb{Second part of title}

we need to add a mechanismn for \titleb.

In the following MWE I did that (see marking <====== for important code changes):

\moderncvcolor{blue}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

with the following result:

The advantage is that you will get the usual layout without or with \titleb and without any warnings from hyperref about wrong tokens like \\ ...
