Formatting Poems

Here is a way of formatting poems using the Lineate plugin I added a few years ago. The last example would be formatted as follows:

[stanza] [lineate]In Xanadu did Kubla Khan[/lineate] [lineate indent=1]A stately pleasure-dome decree :[/lineate] [lineate indent=2]Where Alph, the sacred river, ran[/lineate] [lineate indent=3]Through caverns measureless to man[/lineate] [/stanza]

  1. Thanks for this, Keith. I’ve started to use the text page rather than visual and have managed to try out a few of the buttons – but this helps greatly!

  2. Well I was feeling good about solving my double spacing problem when I copied and pasted from a Word doc.exe –
    delete and holding down shift when I pressed enter, returns the single spacing of the original. Now I see there are more exciting things to fiddle with?

  3. Cor Blimey! All I got after ‘Through caverns measureless to man,’ was blah, blah blah blah, and an image of Sylvester the cat after he’s been hit on the head with a large mallet and has birdies twittering around his head……Methinks I need a lie down!
