### Problem to solve In AsciiDoc, a verse is a literary excerpt: ```adoc content before. [verse,attribution,citetitle] ____ verse - a literary excerpt, often a poem; attribution with title of source are optional ____ content after. ``` Here's the generated HTML: ```html <div> <p>content before.</p> </div> <div> <pre>verse - a literary excerpt, often a poem; attribution with title of source are optional</pre> <div>— attribution<br>citetitle</div> </div> <div> <p>content after.</p> </div> ``` And here's how it's rendered on GitLab:  As you can see a margin is added after the `<pre>` element and as a result it's hard to parse for a reader. Also the `<pre>` element has a "code" style (monospaced font, with a light grey background) but the `<pre>` element represents preformatted text (not necessarily code text): https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/pre As mention above, verse is a literary excerpt, so we should use a sans-serif font. ### Proposal I think that we should generate the following HTML: ```html <blockquote class="verse"> <pre class="verse">verse - a literary excerpt, often a poem; attribution with title of source are optional</pre> <footer>— attribution <cite>citetitle</cite></footer> </blockquote> ``` And we should also update the stylesheet:  ### Links / references
