Poems and poetry HTML+CSS?

Then there's only one thread you'll need:

• 2022: "A bit of poetry CSS you may find useful"

Jellby's posts or my posts use the ol' 3 class method—poem, stanza, line—I think it's the cleanest+best way.

Simple, clean code that doesn't rely on overly complex CSS selectors or anything, so it works everywhere.

Side Note: If you want more info on poetry + negative indents + indentation in Indexes/TOCs, also see:

• 2022: "Poetry Classes: Blockquote vs Div?"

And, as always, you can type this into your favorite search engines:

poetry Tex2002ans site:mobileread.com
negative indent Tex2002ans site:mobileread.com

to find lots of information all about it.
