Formatting as of 2023
[edit]The formatting guidelines above are out of date. Please use the following. I am in the process of updating all pages to match.
Header, left page
{{rh|#|RUDYARD KIPLING'S VERSE|}} {{dhr}}
Header, right page
{{rh||INCLUSIVE EDITION, 1885-1918|#}} {{dhr}}
Poem title
{{center|{{larger|{{uc|Poem Title Here}}}}}}
Poem body
Use {{ppoem}} for main stanzas. Use {{gap}} for indents.
First words (capitalized, drop initial) should be written thus:
{{drop initial|T}}{{uc|he capitalized}}
For the smaller introductory stanzas that precede some poems, the only formatting I have found that works is:
{{block center|{{smaller block|Here is a line of a poem<br/> {{gap}}A poem by Kipling, I'm sure<br/> A poem so good it'll blow 'em<br/> {{gap}}Halfway to Kuala Lumpur.}}}} {{dhr}}
But by all means suggest something more elegant.
Between two poems
{{dhr}} {{rule|3em}} {{dhr}}

- @Solemn1:
This looks good. When there are multiple indents, should we useCremastra (talk) 18:33, 21 January 2024 (UTC){{gap|(x)em}}
or something else?- To avoid confusion: inside a {{ppoem}} one should generally use
:
rather than {{gap}} for indentation (some lines are actually right-aligned rather than very indented, and can be done using<<
). And those introductory stanzas can be done using {{ppoem}} too, just with a custom class name and styling in Help:Page styles. If the only custom formatting is {{smaller block}} you can even just use the pre-defined class {{ppoem|class=smaller}}. Xover (talk) 14:33, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- To avoid confusion: inside a {{ppoem}} one should generally use
- Unfortunately, some if not many of the validated pages don't use {{ppoem}} at all, they use the older layout (at the top of the page). Cremastra (talk) 21:56, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
