Clean up and document poetry
The poetry chapter of the Humanities in Action document https://pretextbook.org/examples/humanities/html/hia.html is not referenced in the main documentation, and that documentation does not even mention poetry.
In addition to expanding the documentation, also decide if @indent
is better than
preserving leading spaces in a line
. Also note that neither is really correct because
neither is guaranteed to give the desired appearance in a proportional font.
Also, a directive like "set in italics" can be appropriate in the context of a poem,
even though it is about presentation. In that case, em
to get italics is tag abuse.
A problem with the current @indent
is that the value has to be an integer, but the
integer currently corresponds to 3 spaces. That is not sufficiently fine for certain cases.
