Encoding Poetry

46358

Three Basic Rules for Encoding Poetry

1. The div element must contain poem in the type field of the Element Inspector.

2. Use the lg (line group) element to contain each stanza. The lg element must contain stanza in the type field of the Element Inspector.

3. Lines should be numbered by entering lineno as the rend value for each individual l (line) element in the Element Inspector.

Other Poetry Encoding Functions

Line Segments

For a numbered line broken into two segments:
  1. Click on the line (l) element to open the element inspector. Enter rend value for first segment as "linenoSeg1".
  2. Click on the line (l) element for the second segment to open its element inspector. Enter rend value for second segment as "linenoSeg2"
You can combine rend values for line segments with other rend values, such as indents, with a single space separating them (e.g., "linenoSeg1 indent4").
