You need the line break code at the end of every line. <br /><br />I paste my poem in Dreamweaver, in the WSYWYG area, which automatically generates the break tag at the end of each line. <br /><br />That way I can use the paragraph tag instead of the PRE tag. <br /><br />Another way is to paste the poem in Word document, place the cursor at the beginning of the first line, turn on the Macro recorder, hit end key, type the break tag, hit right arrow key, then turn off the macro. Then you can use the macro to repeat that all the way down the poem.

I hate to tell you this, but on my iPhone, I can adjust the size of the font which automatically changes line breaks. I figured out the font that I think puts the breaks where you intend them -- 12 point -- but it does change if I bump up the size. I for one would be willing to sacrifice in order to get my book into e-format, and possibly put a note to the reader informing her or him of the size that preserves the intended breaks.Rachel Dacushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15754712503067644226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9144957.post-33485713659398107622012-11-17T12:38:25.528-08:002012-11-17T12:38:25.528-08:00What a nice surprise to check in here today and fi...What a nice surprise to check in here today and find my name mentioned. Thanks! I vowed that I would not upload that chapbook unless the line breaks were as they were supposed to be. It's a matter of correct formatting and then converting the manuscript before uploading. If people upload a Word doc, they'll have problems with the formatting.Diane Lockwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07614479152159652577noreply@blogger.com
