stanzaic poetry does not display stanzas

[Craig Berry]

Stanzas are typically encoded with the <lg> tag, which is ignored by the display model such that stanzas of poetry are run together with no break between them. Among other things, this makes The Faerie Queene look like some Miltonists got ahold of it and tried to make it look like Paradise Lost. Can't have that.

For extra credit, figure out how to indent lines 2-8 of the 9-line Spenserian stanza an em or two more than lines 1 and 9.

I’ve forgotten most things about Sebastian Rahtz’s Processing Model, which is the origin of eXist’s TEI Publisher. But I think there should be a quite simple of specifying a format for <lg>. Magdalena at the time had a useful green/yellow/red illustration showing extensions of the Processing Model that were benign, OK, or to be avoided. My distinct memory is that doing something with <lg> would be in the green sphere.

Magdalena might be a good person to ask

[Craig Berry]

Yes, it should be very easy. Probably just changing this:

<elementSpec mode="change" ident="lg">
   <model behaviour="block"/>
</elementSpec>

to this:

<elementSpec mode="change" ident="lg">
   <model behaviour="block">
    <outputRendition>margin-bottom: 2em;</outputRendition>
   </model>
</elementSpec>

    Leave space after <lg>.

    Stanzas of verse were not appearing as stanzas.
