You've already received your answer from others about putting asterisks between
the stanzas. I wish I knew, before spending months validating the Complete
Verse of Rudyard Kipling, that all spaces would be deleted.
But--I tried by changing the indentations in Word rather than using tabs or
spaces--Was any of that kept? I didn't bother indenting ever other line in the
poems--that would have taken years rather than months--but where stanzas were
indented, or several consecutive lines, I did. Had anyone downloaded that? Amy,
was any of that at all retained? I don't remember.
