<h2 id="bodymatter-file-semantics">Bodymatter file semantics</h2>
|
||||
<p>Plays can come in all shapes and sizes, and no two plays look alike. Figuring out where to place play semantics can be very confusing! Here are some basic play structures to show where play semantics go.</p>
|
||||
<h3 id="bodymatter-file-semantics-play-without-acts">Play without acts</h3>
|
||||
<p>Some plays are not divided into acts. These plays are placed in a single file named after the play. <code class="bash"><span class="s">z3998:drama</span></code> and <code class="bash"><span class="s">z3998:scene</span></code> are located in the top-level section.</p>

|

</figure>
|
||||
<p>Some single-act plays do have scene sections, which are divided into section elements in the file with the <code class="bash"><span class="s">z3998:scene</span></code> semantic.</p>

<h3 id="bodymatter-file-semantics-acts-without-scenes">Acts without scenes</h3>
|
||||
<p>Some plays are divided in to acts without scene sections. The body element contains the <code class="bash"><span class="s">z3998:drama</span></code> semantic; the top-level section element contains both <code class="bash"><span class="s">chapter</span></code> and <code class="bash"><span class="s">z3998:scene</span></code> semantics.</p>

<h3 id="dialog-Stichomythia">Stichomythia</h3>
|
||||
<h3 id="dialog-stichomythia">Stichomythia</h3>
|
||||
<p><i>Stichomythia</i> is a technique used in drama where two speakers engage in a rapid or intense exchange of alternating dialog. Here is an example found in William Shakespeare’s <i><a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/william-shakespeare/a-midsummer-nights-dream">A Midsummer Night’s Dream</a></i>.</p>
|
||||
<figure class="full-width">
|
||||
<img src="images/drama-formatting-1.png" alt="Five sections of dialog use stichomythia. The second section of dialog continues where the first section has left off. This pattern continues and creates a staircase effect."/>
|
||||
</figure>
|
||||
<p>This highlights moments of conflict, urgency, or intense emotion and conveys dynamic interactions between characters. Unfortunately, there is no great way to format this technique with clear, predictable structuring. The text displayed has no additional indents or margins.</p>
|
||||
<h3 id="dialog-ancient-greek-choral-sections">Ancient Greek choral sections</h3>
|
||||
<p>Ancient Greek drama can contain choral sections where each stanza is labeled as strophe, antistrophe, or epode. The sections are numbered if a chorus sings/chants a pattern of strophic, antistrophic, and epodic units. The labels are formatted with italics, parentheses around the label, and right-alignment.</p>
