Index talk:The complete poems of Emily Bronte.djvu
- Excuse my poor terminology, but I am in the process of bringing this work up-to-date with more standardized formatting, etc., etc. I am also creating sections (e.g., "POEMS PUBLISHED IN 1846"... "POSTHUMOUS POEMS") for Mainspace pages instead of one page for each individual poem. You can see where I have begun this already here. May be messy for a while, and I am open to suggestions... More later... Londonjackbooks (talk) 02:12, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
- I am also starting to create an index of Titles (adding titles as they are proofread) which has a home here. Londonjackbooks (talk) 13:34, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
Disambiguation
[edit]How I have handled issues of disambiguation: See Lines (Brontë) P.S. As of this writing, only the first instance of "Lines" has been proofread; the other two are waiting to be proofread. Londonjackbooks (talk) 21:54, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
Another example of disambiguation: Song (Emily Brontë)
I have been using <br /> instead of {{nop}} (due to the recent negative impact the template has been having on poetry rendering) at end of Index pages where a poem splits between two stanzas as well as between two separate poems—whether the poem ends at an Index page or not (this is because poems are compiled on Section pages in the Main, and need adequate spacing between poems).

Basic suggested formatting
[edit]- For titled, single-page poems, see Hope
- For untitled, single-page poems, see The night is darkening round me
- For titled, two-page poems, see Remembrance
- For untitled, two-page poems, see Child of delight, with sun-bright hair
- For titled, 3-or-more page poems, see Stars
- For untitled, 3-or-more page poems, see Loud without the wind was roaring
Other issues
[edit]Single-page poem:
. . . Longing to be in sweet Elbe again,<br /> Thinking and grieving and longing in vain.<br /> {{shift left|{{smaller|''August'' 19, 1834.}}|2em}}}} <br />
Multiple-page poem:
. . . Longing to be in sweet Elbe again,<br /> Thinking and grieving and longing in vain.<br /> {{shift left|{{smaller|''August'' 19, 1834.}}|2em}} {{block center/e}} <br />
Renders as:
. . . Longing to be in sweet Elbe again,
Thinking and grieving and longing in vain.
August 19, 1834.
