- | ====== Poetry ====== | ||
- | We mark up poetry differently than normal paragraph text. For Poetry, we apply the following DAISY Styles in Word: | ||
- | |||
- | * Poem (DAISY) | ||
- | * Poem - Title (DAISY) | ||
- | * Poem - Byline (DAISY) | ||
- | * Author (DAISY) | ||
- | |||
- | By poetry, we mean any text where definition of poetic structure is required. The Poem (DAISY) style is an appropriate form of markup for song texts or lyrics. | ||
- | |||
- | =====Styles===== | ||
- | ====Poem (DAISY)==== | ||
- | The Poem (DAISY) style is used to wrap the entire poem, or fragment of a poem, in the < | ||
- | |||
- | The Poem (DAISY) style may also be used to mark up texts displaying elements of versification, | ||
- | |||
- | **You must always apply the Poem (DAISY) style first, before you apply any of the Title, Author, or Byline styles.** | ||
- | |||
- | ====Poem - Title (DAISY)==== | ||
- | The Poem - Title (DAISY) style is used to wrap the title of the poem in the < | ||
- | |||
- | < | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | Example: | ||
- | |||
- | '' | ||
- | |||
- | '' | ||
- | |||
- | ====Poem - Byline (DAISY)==== | ||
- | The Poem - Byline (DAISY) styles can be used to wrap information about the creator of, or contributor to, a work, usually consisting of more than just an author' | ||
- | |||
- | ====Author (DAISY)==== | ||
- | The Author (DAISY) style can be used to wrap the author of the poem in the < | ||
- | |||
- | < | ||
- | |||
- | < | ||
- | |||
- | =====Poems in a foreign language====== | ||
- | If the poem is in a foreign language, we can select the text and go to '' | ||
- | |||
- | If only select individual words are in other languages, do not apply any language formatting. Simply make a note of this and include this note when you are done and transfer the ticket to the Production Coordinator via RT. | ||
- | |||
- | =====Complex Formatting and Producer' | ||
- | |||
- | Sometimes you will come across a poem that has more complex formatting that can not be translated to DAISY. | ||
- | |||
- | We can not retain this formatting for DAISY conversion. | ||
- | |||
- | < | ||
- | |||
- | ====Common Types of Complex Formatting===== | ||
- | |||
- | The more common forms of complex formatting are: | ||
- | |||
- | * spacing, | ||
- | * line justification, | ||
- | * and concrete poetry. | ||
- | |||
- | In poetry the use of blank space on a page, between lines, words, or even letters, can be used to convey meaning. We can not retain blank spaces. | ||
- | |||
- | Lines, stanzas, or entire poems can use right justification to convey meaning. We can not retain right justification. | ||
- | |||
- | A Concrete poem is a poem where the words create a shape on the page that conveys a visual meaning. We can not retain the original shape of a concrete poem. | ||

- | In-Text Producer' | ||
- | |||
- | BEGIN PRODUCER' | ||
- | |||
- | In the section titled (5) the words after the first line originally appeared with no spaces and in the shape of a hammer. The poem has been reformatted to have spaces between the words, and without word breaks at the end of lines. | ||
- | |||
- | END PRODUCER' | ||
- | </ | ||
- | |||
- | ====Images in Poems==== | ||
- | Sometimes you will come across images of text in poems. This is a big no-no in publishing and not accessible. See the section on [[https:// | ||
- | |||
- | We transcribe all images of text and mark up with the appropriate NNELS styles. If it was a case of complex formatting, then use an In-Text Producer' | ||
- | |||
- | Sometimes you will find the poet has used an image of a black bar to signify the censorship of a word of phase. In this can you can keep the image and add the Alt-Text "Thick black bar blocking out word/ | ||

- | ====Producer' | ||

- | In these cases include a [[public: | ||

- | **Producer' | ||
- | |||
- | This book originally appeared with special paragraph and line spaces that added to the meaning of the text. Due to the conversion process these design elements have been removed. For poems that originally appeared with more complex formatting there are in-text producer’s notes. | ||

- | le temps a métallisé la neige | ||
- | et le silence s’est réjoui | ||
- | pour mieux se confondre | ||
- | des traits blancs se précipitent au sol | ||
- | des montagnes s’accrochent | ||
- | sur les écorces des arbres et sur | ||
- | des bras épineux | ||
- | les verts disparaissent | ||
- | les bleus deviennent opalescents | ||
- | les contours des bruns et des roux | ||

- | par moments | ||
- | un oiseau tire un trait noir | ||
- | dans cet espace accéléré | ||
