+ | Q: Currently working on Pendent que Perceval Tombait (poem). I saw a previous Q&A mentioned that all blank pages should be removed (we do not need to keep same page numbering), but we can keep the text on separate pages for the poetry book. I know that we also have to remove page breaks. Is this the exception for page breaks? The answer in that Q&A was not clear to me. Otherwise, how would you keep the text on separate pages? There are often no headings, so I can't even use headings as a divider instead. Each page has 4-5 lines, and then skips to the next page. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: That was back from when we did DAISY. I removed that line from the wiki. Just format it with headings and no page breaks. We don't keep page numbering in conversion. | ||

+ | Q: Another question about My Art is Killing Me (poetry). There are parts of the poems that use a different color for the words to convey the author speaking to the reader. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I know that we do not do this. Is this something that also goes into the production note? Or is there a way to emphasize this? | ||

+ | Q: Working on My Art is Killing Me (poetry) and there is this formatting in one of the poems: | ||

+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Do I keep it? I'm leaning on *not*. In that case, how do I format it? Just remove the lines? | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: Replace the lines with commas. | ||

+ | The first poem: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | In this case, I'm not sure if the line "The whole in the sky" should be at the end of the poem (this is how it looks when I clear formatting), | ||
+ | The second poem: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | In this case, I think the lines are intended to be read horizontally, | ||
+ | Thanks for your help! | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: Unfortunately, | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the first example "The Hole In the Sky" is supposed to be a hole in the poem, but also it should be able to be read as one phrase. I am leaning towards keeping the words together in one phrase (i.e. "The Hole in the Sky") and inserting it in the center of the poem where the word " | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the second example, my first instinct is to apply columns to the poem, but there is no way for the screen reader to read it horizontally. Maybe, we could repeat the poem in both reading order? | ||
