- | We mark up poetry differently than normal paragraph text. For Poetry, we apply the following DAISY Styles in Word: | + | For the most part, poetry is marked up the same way as other text. |
- | * Poem (DAISY) | + | Use '' |
- | * 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. | + | Poetry |
- | =====Styles===== | + | Languages can be applied as needed. See the [[public: |
- | ====Poem (DAISY)==== | + | |

- | **You must always apply the Poem (DAISY) style first, before you apply any of the Title, Author, or Byline styles.** | + | =====Complex Formatting and Producer' |
- | ====Poem - Title (DAISY)==== | + | Sometimes you will come across a poem that has more complex formatting that cannot be translated to EPUB. |

- | < | + | ====Common Types of Complex Formatting===== |
- | =====Poems in a foreign language====== | + | The more common forms of complex formatting are: |
- | 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. | + | * spacing, |
+ | * line justification, | ||
+ | * and concrete poetry. | ||
- | =====Complex Formatting and Producer' | + | In poetry the use of blank space on a page, between lines, words, or even letters, can be used to convey meaning. We do not retain blank spaces. |
- | Sometimes you will come across a poem that has more complex formatting that can not be translated | + | Lines, stanzas, or entire poems can use right justification |
- | ====Common Types of Complex Formatting===== | + | A concrete poem is a poem where the words create a shape on the page that conveys a visual meaning. We do not retain the original shape of a concrete poem. |
- | 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 keep these blank spaces. | + | <WRAP center round box 90%> |

- | A Concrete poem is: "an arrangement of linguistic elements in which the typographical effect is more important in conveying meaning than verbal significance. It is sometimes referred to as visual poetry, a term that has now developed a distinct meaning of its own." We can not retain the original shape of a concrete poem. | + | **Example** |

+ | Sometimes you will come across images of text in poems. This is a big no-no in publishing | ||
- | <note important> | + | We transcribe all images of text and mark up with the appropriate NNELS styles. |
- | < | + | Sometimes you will find the poet has used an image of a black bar to signify the censorship of a word of phase. |
- | See [[public:nnels: | + | ==== Q&A Archive ==== |
+ | Q: I have a follow up question about the poetry book, How to Dress a Fish. In your answer below regarding the sections of text that are censored with a black box, you said, "Keep the black boxes and add the alt-text "thick black line that blocks out word" ". I'm just looking | ||
- | Below is an example from the book // | + | I expected that the black boxes would be images of black boxes since you said to add alt-text for them. I've actually found that all the black boxes I've encountered so far (I'm about 30% through) are regular text in the docx file - so, I can see the word that was originally blacked out in the text and there are no images of black boxes to add alt-text to. |
- | For more information on what elements | + | So, to format it to be like the original, I was deleting the word meant to be blacked out and then inserting the Unicode that you gave me for another poetry book, U+25AC. But I just realized that I can instead highlight the word that needs to be blacked |

- | **{{:public: | + | A: Recreate it with the same numbers as it is in the original. The poet meant for the lines to break up like that, as this is a common technique in poetry to convey meaning and emotion. |

- | ====Example 1==== | ||
- | **In Word, if we tag the text below with the Poem (DAISY) style...** | + | Q: I'm wondering about alignment and spacing. The poet in the book I'm editing (Silvija) makes use of left and right justification at some points in the book. Should I align the text as the poet did or stick to right justification only? Also, the book contains a lot of white space (poems are on separate pages). Should I add page breaks in this case? Finally, I just want to verify that the slash ('/' |

For some people, text justification may present readability issues. Extended spaces between words and sometimes letters within words can create spaces of white that can visually dominate the text.
