Encoding basic verse types, including possible values for type on div for poetry
This entry describes the possible type attribute values for a div surrounding a piece of verse. There are three basic categories:
1. A fixed poetic form (for more details, see 186):
type="poem.sonnet"
type="poem.sonnet-petrarchan"
type="poem.sonnet-shakespearean"
type="poem.ode-Eng"
type="poem.acrostic"
type="poem.sestina"
type="poem.villanelle"
type="poem.spatial"
type="poem.limerick"
2. An indication that the poem has a regular stanzaic structure. This means that the poem consists of regularly repeating units. Note that these units may or may not be encoded as <lg type="stanza">, depending on their length (see 187). For div use:
type="poem.stanzaic"
3. An indication that the poem has neither stanzaic regularity nor a named form (for more information see 187):
type="poem.indeterminate"
