Pierrot lunaire

Here is an alternate markup of the verses (German with English) of Hartleben's rendering of the Albert Giraud poem.  Each markup "element" can be defined to suit the purpose ( suppress the Engish translation, place the English in a pop-up responding to a mouse click or other effect.) Note that the r=  is used to encode the repeating lines so that they can be presented with some indication or none ( r=0  is a non-repeating line.)  n=  gives optional line-numbering.

The markup is defined using the Curl web content language from www.curl.com and my example markup can be viewed as ordinary HTML text at poets.aule‑browser.com/hartleben‑pierrot.html.

The markup can be implemented as macros, procedures, text-formats, text-format procedures or as new Curl syntax or any mix of the above as suits the text presentation task.

[ the entire sequence is 21 verses comprising 273 lines ]
