--- Comment #22 from This, that and the other <at.li...@live.com.au> --- (In reply to comment #16) > <verbatim> is a misleading name since it still parses wikitext in its > content. > It is only verbatim for text-content. I do see what you mean here. The problem is, we have so far been unable to come up with a better name! <poem> is inappropriate as too specific/narrow. > Is there another way of achieving this > without adding a new tag? The <poem> tag is already in wide use. I don't see the problem with adding a tag for this functionality. (In reply to comment #20) > IMO the <poem> tag should be rendered as <pre > class="poem"> and it has exactly the behavior of indent-pre (with an extra > HTML > class and without the necessity to write the leading indentation). A few questions about this statement: * The gray box/monospaced font of <pre>/indent-pre would have to be removed for <poem> blocks. * What are the existing differences between <poem> and indent-pre? * <pre> does not render identically to indent-pre, so could you explain how rendering poems using <pre class="poem"> would help? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
