SPIP/ Poetry

Monde en
#1

Hello George,

Perhaps you could have a look athttp://testujspip.webzdarma.cz/spip.php?article4.

It is an article on how to write verses in SPIP. It isn't in English, so you probably won't understand the text, but there are samples (which use special formatting so that they can be easily recognised) with codes (written in Courier New) so you can see how the result was achieved.

(You can find the solution to your pattern further towards the end of the article.)

Good luck!

You can let me know how useful it was in the forum under the article.

Best wishes,

Jaro

Hi

For classical Arabic poetry I use tables:

Otherwise you have to use the CSS property text-indent but if the

       indentation is variable then there is a problem.

Hello,

I wonder to know if there is a solution for publishing poetry. Some poems are written like stairs:
Poem , poem, poem poem /line 1
Poem, poem, poem, poem/ line 2
Poem, poem, poem, poem/ Line 3
Poem, poem, poem, poem/ line 4
Poem, poem, poem, poem/ line 5
But SPIP brings all lines in one row like this:

Poem , poem, poem poem /line 1
Poem, poem, poem, poem/ line 2
Poem, poem, poem, poem/ Line 3
Poem, poem, poem, poem/ line 4
Poem, poem, poem, poem/ line 5

Is there any solution to publish poem line the first example (stairs)?
Thank you
Kamran

PS: SPIP quotations for poetry doesn't make any sense:

I think SPIP should fix it. In WP, it needs only to use space button on keyboard.

#3

Maybe with

the text
with the indentation
is displayed correctly

?

#4

No, This one change all css sets.

#5

ok, so the solution is probably to change the css.
Add this line to your custom css file :

.spip_poesie { white-space: pre; }

And indentation with the space button keyboard should work

I think this is something that should be done from SPIP hackers’ end. Why SPIP as a wonderful software doesn’t have this function for simple users without CSS knowledge? I hope SPIP hackers fix it in the next release.
