It seems the majority opinion is to removed the artificial line breaks. I was leaning that way, but wanted to see what other's had to say about the issue. Thanks for the input and also thanks for the kind words about the two books I did.
Related to this, I haven't posted ebook files for "Forest Runes" yet, as I'm not happy with how badly the various ebook formats render the poetry that I formatted so carefully. Reading this book on PDA-sized screens is far from ideal. The lack of CSS support in FBReader makes things even worse. So far, the best formatting is with Digital Editions, but it put the horizontal rules at the left margin, instead of centered. If anyone with a Cybook can do screenshots, I would like to send the Mobipocket draft ebook to them. PM me if you can help.
I did the indentation on the web page by setting a few "margin-left" rules in the stylesheet and then wrapping specific lines with span tags to get the desired indent for that line. I thought about using nbsp tags (which would have worked better in the ebook files), but having dozens of nbsp's was too much to deal with and very ugly to edit. Has anyone come up with a better way to handle this?
Thanks to all.
