In HTML, out of desperation, I created my own tags <verso> and <estrofa>
and some CSS for quite basic stuff. Not saying it's kosher, though.
But the thing is that amphora (haven't tested elsewhere) does respect
the spacing
even when it's at the beginning of the line, even in regular gemini
text (i.e not
preformated). However the proxis fail at this.
I feel like the web forgot poetry, perhaps Gemini could do better. The
potential is there.

Despite the danger of throwing this off-topic, here's how I mark-up poetry on my website (mostly; I'm correcting some things here):

I like having each line in a <span> because it feels more ... semantic, that way.
