What could be done is using "page-break-after:avoid" (or "page-break-before:avoid") in the first or first few (or last or last few) lines of each stanza, depending on the structure of each poem. Quote:
Fables of Samaniego (in Spanish) Fables of Iriarte (in Spanish) La divina commedia (in Italian, English, German, Portuguese, Russian) and there are poetry fragments in some other works like Carroll's books. |

Sorry if I sound inflexible, but what I've, personally, been through with poetry over the past five years I would not wish on The Dursleys of Privet Drive (sorry--have been reading Potters for another thread around here somewhere on typos, or some bloody thing). There's something about poets' brains, particularly the "visual" ones, that just breaks this camel's back. I tried, I did--but I learned the hard way that that way lies madness. Now, if a poet wants a book "that looks EXACTLY like..." we quote them for fixed-format. For a while, I'd stopped accepting poetry even for quotation, not because the coding itself was hard (it's not...just tedious), but because the inevitable endless emails that came once the ePUB was produced just were not covered by pricing. Now I charge a LOT for Poetry, even if it's simple, and the earth for FF. Period. Hitch |
