I have to say I'm at a loss to see how a poem can be interpreted as a list! One of the simplest tests (for me) of 'is this markup semantically appropriate?' is to consider what your reaction would be if you saw it without styles (or more correctly, with default styling). I would certainly be taken aback to see a verse marked up as a bulleted list!
And consider the effect in a screen reader: would it help the vistor to hear at the beginning of each verse 'list of twelve items bullet Shall I compare the to a summer's day? Bullet Thou art more lovely and more temperate bullet etc' Elizabeth -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Aldona Sent: Sunday, 22 June 2008 12:46 PM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: Re: [WSG] Marking Up Poems 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 verse and then still do the fancy styling. What do people think of that as an option?
