Yes in general the \1 is related to a reg exp but in this case it's a portion of the way the clips work and refers to the high lighted text in Sigil.

Thanks to all! I think I should primarily test it in different contexts, in order to check the whole functionality.

I feel that Pre turn into total hash if a reflow is needed.

There is a CSS option to pre-wrap PRE statements I believe. I do not know how well it is supported in eBook Readers.

... and Sigil. This would have been my next question, but, as far as I can see, the Pre-tag would require to remove the given p-formats (in my case) and would not forward the point (for pre-adjustments are necessary).

pre-wrap actually kind of works on ADE. on the ipad the text is mangled (sometimes in kind of a charming way). using white-space:pre; worked for this poem on ADE, but the iPad cuts off any overflow on the right-hand side of the screen.

i also tested by putting the poem in <pre> tags, which yielded the same results in ADE and on the ipad. i used sigil to make the test book and it displayed in the preview panel as expected.

doubt there's too much actual use for this, but posting some screenshots here for posterity.

here's the css is was using:

.poem {
	background-color:transparent;
        font-size:.9em;
        font-family:Inconsolata, Consolas, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
        white-space:pre;
        margin:0;
        padding:0;
  }

with <div class="poem"></div>.

the poem is called 'Homage to Dada', by Henri Chopin, written in 1965.

pre (or pre-wrap) without monospace font: tricky to get the spacing right, not to say impossible.

monospace font in "normal" text in a book: bad choice, poor typestting.

Hard to combine both
