[WSG] RE: Poetry needing block format but with line-breaks
I'm doing a poetry 'zine. Quite a lot of poets want to set the way the poem looks as well as sounds; and one poem needs to be in block format, but with lines breaking at specific words, so I have to use the line-break ... Hi Susie, did you try using pre to preserve whitespace (which includes line breaks)?
