Subject: how to number poetry?
Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2005 16:59:05 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050713205905.GA23919@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

What is the best way to number lines of poetry?

1  This is the first line
   This is the second line
   ...

5  this is the fifth
   ...

10 this is the tenth.

I can supply the number myself. I really don't want the numbers in the
margin. Instead, I want the whole poem indented right, with the
numbers left of the indent.

I have tried using tabulate, but tabulate doesn't let me control the
space between "lines," or really cells.

Thanks

Paul
