Some recent texts coming from dp have had css used for indicating indentation in verse. They use class selectors such as i2, i4, i6 to indicate various levels of indentation. Could something similar be adopted in this case? Andrew On Tue, 26 Oct 2004, Joshua Hutchinson wrote:

I did some further digging and found an example (of the exact poem I was using for an example, no less) from the Electronic Text Center at the UofVirginia. They use a simple rend element within the <l> tag to mark an indent.
Anyone have a problem with that? It keeps the indention information, but does it within the XML tag element.
The only possible issue I see if that it doesn't allow for variable length indents.
