But each line is *not* a paragraph. Each line is a line of a stanza (in my mind, marked up pretty appropriately with the <p> tag). Or, in other words, and the end of each line is a line-break. I think there are only two really appropriate ways to mark-up poetry. Using <pre> tags, or using paragraphs to mark-up the stanza's and the <br> tag to show line-breaks. Possibly using an OL to mark it up as an ordered list, but that's only an option if you need to have the line numbers written, and even then I think it's pretty messy. -- Australian Web Designer - http://www.blakehaswell.com/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
