Well, personally, I'd explain the realities of eBook formatting limitations to the client--after all, think of the processing power required, for the device to recalculate the entire layout, for every line, each time the reader changes fonts, font sizes, devices and orientation--but I think that Ruben has a post, around here someplace, that tried to do this, and was somewhat remotely successful.

I do want to point out that even if you are successful, that third stair-stepped indent is not going to be very pretty on 99% of devices. Typical eReader at the default font size has 60 characters per line, right? By the time Jane Reader cranks up her font size, that third indented line is going to be wrapping like there's no tomorrow.

Of course, you could just make it in ePUB3 FXL. That would solve it, from the poet's viewpoint, and only inconvenience the reader. :-)

Anyway, look for posts from Ruben. I'm pretty sure that's who it was that was working on it. (I'll rummage around and see if I can find his username...)
