::I think a side-aligned little box would be nicer, as then it wouldn't completely break up the explanation. I simply wouldn't want the example of a E.E. Cummings poem to be taking up more space than the two paragraphs in the same section already do. But the exact styling can be anything, of course.

:::This is pretty good! I implemented something with this and I think it works. Couldn't figure out how to stop this from being in bold (I know it's the th fault but I don't know how to fix it), but I think it's already good enough to be on the page. Thanks for the help!

::::I hope you like how I changed it. Took a few tweaks to make it right (more than a few Previews, but also changed mind over submitted 'final' versions).
 
::::It doesn't need to be a table (the above was designed for contextual use that you don't need to invoke). Yes, the 'th' (table header cell) defaults to bold, and other formatting, where 'td' (table data cell) does not. I should have TDed most rows, if not all, in the example. But not using either now, so doesn't matter.
 
::::While it somewhat satisfies me, I don't know if it works for you (or others). And there are several other ways of rendering it (and encoding the rendering) that do the same sort of thing. Never mind someone going so far as to writing a Template:poem and putting the working  code (and a ton of wikicode, to deal with optional changes) into that.

:::::(sorry for the late response) This looks great! I think this is a really nice format. I'm not big on the font, but it being monospace probably helps and I don't know what the original poem's font was. You did a great job, thank you very much ^_^ ..I do have to say that I absolutely do not get the appeal of this Cummings poem. It does vaguely remind me of badly-indented code :p [[User:Maplestrip|Maplestrip]] ([[User talk:Maplestrip|talk]]) 09:38, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
