Unusual formatting

Poetry is a diverse art form that offers a wide range of distinctive types, each with its own unique visual appeal. In fact, poetry can take on various unconventional formats that add to its artistic charm. Below are some uncommon formatting styles you may come across while producing a poetry production.

Verse paragraphs

-

In poetic composition, some authors opt to use stanzas of varying length. While traditional poetry forms such as sonnets and haikus have a set structure, free verse poetry allows poets to experiment with different stanza lengths. To visually differentiate between stanzas, some poets choose to remove the blank space between them and instead indent the first line of each subsequent stanza (excluding the first stanza). This technique serves a similar function to paragraphs in prose. With a clever CSS selector, you don’t need to add the i1 class to each stanza. To remove spacing between stanzas, delete [epub|type~="z3998:poem"] p + p{ margin-top: 1em; } that’s provided by SEMoS.

Caesuras

-

In poetry, a caesura is a pause or break in a verse that marks the end of one phrase and the beginning of another. This pause can be expressed by a large space and is used by poets to create a rhythmic effect in their work. In the files, wrap each phrase in a <span> element inside of the <span> element that represents the complete verse line.

A dropped line is a stylistic technique in which a single line of verse is divided into two or three distinct phrases. This technique is similar to the use of caesuras, although it differs in that the breaks do not appear in every line, and the phrases themselves are separated by line breaks rather than a large space.

When dealing with two separate phrases, the parent <span> has a class="dl2" attribute.
