work published on the web will only look
like it does on paper or in your word processor if it is properly formated.
Here's some basics.
At the end of each line of your poem, add the following
code <br>
To add a space between stanzas or paragraphs, add <br>
in the open line or add <p> before the first line and </p>
after the last line of the stanza/paragraph.

roses are red.<br>
violets are blue.<br>
<br>
some poems rhyme,<br>
and some don't.<br> |
<p>roses are red.<br>
violets are blue.</p>
<p>some poems rhyme,<br>
and some don't.</p> |
Being tricky...
for bold type, use <strong> before and </strong>
after text you want bold.
for italics, use <em> before and </em> after text
you want to italicize.
to indent, adding (there is a space after each " ")
in front of the line will add a 4 space indent. |
