Actually, there was a time when “poetry” disappeared from that menu. I can’t remember the circumstances.
How I would like to indent, or center, text at various times. Can’t be done.
If I were going to add a photo, I’d cut and paste some text in poetry, add the photo, then set up another poetry block.
Sometimes when I follow a poem with with a subhed, it tries to put the whole poem in the headline font. The easiest way to get around this is to add a comment button. Write the subhead, then delete the comment box.
I was playing around with the poetry setting on, and made a clever workaround for doing right align. Basically, inside the poetry block, you type 10 spaces, highlight them, then paste-paste-paste till you get to the end of the line. Backspace to eliminate the extras. Type in your text, then delete one space at a time until it is aligned right.
I think this will work as the column width is standard, but it is too long for a phone--and 59% of users read Substack on their phone.
Just did another calculation for the phone, and my apple 12 phone can display 30 characters per line. Don't believe that will be standard for all phones. Paragraphs are easy to wrap, poems not so much.
Maybe Substack can make a "paste a poem" feature that can display it as a graphic so it can be resized? Would love to hear thoughts on this subject. Asking for my friends.
