Verse Domain
The verse domain provides markup for representing poetry, songs, and other line-oriented content organized into stanzas.
The <verse>
element contains any combination of <verse-line>
and <stanza>
elements. The <verse>
element specializes from <lines>
, so all white space within the <verse>
element is significant by default.
A
<verse-line>
represents a single line of verse and a <stanza>
represents a set of lines:<verse><stanza ><verse-line>'Twas brillig and the slithy tothes</verse-line> <verse-line>Did gyre and gymbal in the wabe</verse-line> <verse-line>All mimsy were the borogroves</verse-line> <verse-line>And the mome raths outgrabe.</verse-line></stanza></verse>
Which might be rendered like this:
'Twas brillig and the slithy tothes
Did gyre and gymbal in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogroves
And the mome raths outgrabe.
