The following code does exactly what I want, with the exception that I would like line breaking. Ideally, I want the numbers to appear under the word 'Thing' but there will be other text as well. The usual suggestions of using tabular, or the general use of '\\' do not work, probably because I am using the er,positioning package.

First post, so please let me know if I need to change or adjust anything to suit the usual rules here.

\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{er,positioning}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{fullpage}
\usepackage{nopageno}

\begin{document}


\begin{tikzpicture}[auto,node distance=1.5cm]
\node[entity] (node1) {Big Idea}
[grow=up,sibling distance=5cm]
child[grow=left,level distance=5cm] {node[attribute] {Thing 1}}
child {node[attribute] {Thing 2}}
child {node[attribute] {Thing 3}}
child {node[attribute] {Thing 4}}
child[grow=right,level distance=7cm] {node[attribute] {Thing 5}};
\end{tikzpicture}


\end{document}

  • Don't know what you tried exactly, but all the usual things seem to work fine, e.g. node[attribute,align=center] {Thing\\2} or node[attribute] {\begin{tabular}{@{}c@{}} Thing\\3\end{tabular}} – Torbjørn T. Sep 18 '20 at 19:50
  • @TorbjørnT. I didn't have align=center in there. That did it. Thank you for helping with my silly issue. If you want to post a short answer, I will upvote and accept it. – The Count Sep 18 '20 at 19:52
