Subject: RFE 3602904: line group and block quote elements
I exchanged messages with pcthoms regarding this RFE: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3602904&group_id=21935&atid=1037852) He/she is asking that the following be legal: <drama> <linegroup><speaker></speaker> <line>Text.</line> <blockquote> <line>Song.</line> </blockquote> <line>Text.</line> </linegroup> </drama> Right now, you cannot have <line> inside of a <blockquote> element. That's the addition the RFE is asking for. At first, I thought he/she was just looking for a way to (ab)use the <blockquote> element to get an indent. But, while that is one result of doing this, the actual purpose is to markup a fragment of a song or a poem in the lines from a particular speaker, which sounds like a reasonable thing to do (though I don't know if <blockquote> is the best element to use for this purpose). Does anyone have any thoughts on whether we should consider this change (allowing <line> inside <blockquote>, at least when <blockquote> is inside <linegroup>) or is there some other, hopefully better, way to achieve the same purpose?
