i agree, put the poem in a div, place the poem inside a p, use br

go for p at every stanza).

Look at word processing programs. When you wish for a double br
you will simply type Enter. If you want a line-break you will
mostly do a Shift+Enter.
Word processing isn't web design, and one has to look

I've been reading the marking up poems thread with interest but it seems
no one has made what seems to be the most obvious suggestion. When I was
still in class we had an exercise with a poem and used an unordered
list. Would this be a viable option? You could even have a different
list for each
Poetry is art and its really ugly to even try to mark it correctly.
There must be something that would work though and i have actually
tried with a really bad result.. http://kevinmcgeary.com/essay.html
With inherit and ems mixed with p there must be a way also where

Well yes, you could mark it up as XML behind the scenes, but you shouldn't be
sending XML to the browser. They might or might not be able to cope with it,
but you'd be breaking validation (unless you used XHTML sent as actual XML and
start namespacing things).
In simple terms, I'd mark up
I would suggest that this is pre. Poetry is generally so
display-specific that you couldn't hope to mark it up, I'd say.

True.
I still think there should be a stanard set of elements to mark up poems
though. Not checked if WG are doing anything in HTML 5 - i think they are.

Whats your views on
A question was raised at work today 'How do you mark up a poem'.
It depends on the form, really. For most poetry, I think paragraphs with
line breaks are appropriate. If the poem requires very specific positioning,
pre would be the first option as that doesn't rely on CSS. Finally if all

Very good!
But I have to say they all sound the same. Did anyone spot any differences?
I think there may have been a difference in the second one but can't be
sure.

I look after a poetry ezine site ( http://www.foame.org/) and that¹s what I
do.
For a lot of poets, the look of their poem on the page is very important.
Sometimes they want to make visual patterns with their stanzas ... always a
bit hit and miss, depending on browsers/platforms etc.
And then
