In the emacs-wiki 2.66 release, one of the changes deals with verse
tags. The old behavior was to put a "br" tag at the end of each line,
put that is not XHTML 1.1 compliant. I have opted to instead have the
publisher include something like:
p.verse {
line-height: 2em;
margin-left: 5%;
white-space: pre;
}
in their CSS stylesheet. The problem with this is that Internet
Explorer is unable to correctly break lines, even though that is part
of the CSS 2 standard.
I could use a "pre" tag inside the verse tag, but the "pre" tag
usually has its own stylesheet entry which can conflict with the
p.verse entry.
For a future release, I am trying to decide between two possible
options.
1. Leave things the way they are and wait for Microsoft to make their
browser more standards compliant.
2. Include a configurable option to put the "br" tag at the end of
each line within verse tags, disabled by default.
If anyone has an opinion on which one of these routes I should choose,
or if you know of a possible third option that would retain standards
compliance without sacrificing too much, please contribute to this
thread.
