Note

This element should be used only to mark up writing which is topographically organized as a series of lines, horizontal or vertical. It should not be used to mark lines of verse (for which use l) nor to mark line beginnings within text which has been encoded using structural elements such as p (for which use lb).

Examples

This example shows topographical lines as a means of preserving the visual appearance of a poem:
