poetry \startlines and tab
Hello, I needed to typeset some poetry and noticed that \startlines[space=on] Some line with tab % doesn't work, no spaces added Some line with spaces %work \stoplines Is there a way to make the "tab" render the space "as is"?
Hello,
I needed to typeset some poetry and noticed that
\startlines[space=on]
Some line with tab % doesn't work, no spaces added
Some line with spaces %work
\stoplines
Is there a way to make the "tab" render the space "as is"? one can make the tab 'active' and have a meaning of say 2em but that's normally not what one does in tex ... btw, there are options for doing

For poetry that has non-regular indentations, I simply \definelines[poem] and set that up the way I want, obviously, with \setuplines[poem] e.g. [before={\blank \setupinterlinespace[line=2.5ex]},after={\blank},indenting=first]. And then, but I guess it is still a hack, I use \hskip at a suitable dimension whenever I need indented lines: \startpoem This is line one, \hskip1em{This is line two} This is line three, \hskip1em{This is line four,} \hskip1em{This is line five.} \rightaligned{Poet's name} \stoppoem Julian On 11/1/22 1:01 pm, Youssef Cherem via ntg-context wrote:
