Tip


Excerpt

This page describes how to use the Poetry style. eXtyles NLM can automatically separate the poem into separate stanzas in the XML.


Poetry

Poetry may appear in any document type. The verses of the poem should be styled with the Poetry style. 

If whitespace is relevant to the poem’s formatting and should be preserved, the Preformat style may be used rather than Poetry. Please refer to the documentation on the DTD (available at http://dtd.nlm.nih.gov/publishing/tag-library/n-qu60.html) for guidelines on using Poetry versus Preformat. 

Where separate stanzas should be represented in the XML with a <verse-group> element, an empty paragraph styled Poetry should be inserted between the lines that begin and end their respective stanzas, as in the example below.
