Hi, I'm new to liblouis but I thought dtbook syntax for poems/poetry was: <poem> <linegroup> <line>The Wonderful Counsellor guide you</line> <line>The Mighty God protect you</line> <line>The Everlasting Father be with you</line> <line>The Prince of Peace overshadow you</line> <line>And the blessing of God be upon you</line> <line>Now and evermore</line> <line>Amen</line> </linegroup> </poem> Or am I missing the point! Probably! Paul ____________________________________________________ Paul Wood, Technical Services Leader Torch Trust Torch House, Torch Way, Market Harborough, Leics.

There will be other subsections on tables, etc. I also want to add a section on translating rtf documents. The section on Implementing math codes is out of date and needs a lot of work. -------------------- @node Special Formats, @subsection Poetry @file{canonical.cfg} defines two styles which can be used to format poetry, as follows: @example style stanza linesBefore 1 linesAfter 1 ttyle line leftMargin 2 firstLineIndent -2 @end example Your document might then contain the following from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner": @example <stanza> <lino>He holds him with his glittering eye</line> <line>The wedding guest stands still</line> <line>And listens like a three-years' child.</line> <line>He has no force nor will.</line> </stanza> @end example Note that when stanzas follow each other liblouisxml will produce only one blank line between them, not two. -- My websites: GodTouches Digital Ministry, Inc. http://www.godtouches.org Abilitiessoft, Inc. http://www.abilitiessoft.com Location: Madison, WI, USA For a description of the software and to download it go to http://www.jjb-software.com For a description of the software and to download it go to http://www.jjb-software.com
