THIS is what I have to do in order to jackass a metrical selection into Geni's stupid stupid stupid formatting:
* Epitaphium Thomae White, L. L. Doctoris,
* Cancellarii Ecclesiae Cathedralis B. Marisa
* Virginis Sarum, et Diocaeseos ejusdem,
* Archdiaconi Berks, et quondam Custodis
* Collegii S Mariae Winton in Oxon qui obiit
* 12 die Junii An. Dni- 1588
* AEqui perpetuus bonique Cultor,
* Defensor viduae, Patronus orbi,
*
* Cujus Judicio labat sagaci
* Nunc Jus Imperiale destitutum,
* Quern notus toties sibi fidelem,
* Ignotus sibi sensit hospitalem,
* Annorum placide satur sub isto
* Obdormit recubans Whitus Sepulchre
Any REASONABLE formatting routine WOULD ALLOW Soft Line Breaks and WOULD NOT FORCE the user to jerk the text around into an Un-Numbered List!!! Which plays holy hell with the line spacing!!!!!
And no, "Block Quote" DOES NOT WORK for this sort of thing!
I've been irate and frustrated about this for quite some time now!
