+% \textsf{poemscol} is also suited for verse drama, and the package

+%
+% \textsf{poemscol} can provide line numbers and notes for prose
+% sections such as the author's introduction or prose poetry. (It
+% can also handle inset prose passages in the midst of verse, pausing and 
+% restarting verse line numbering as the editor desires.)
+%  It also has some limited facilities for typesetting and annotating 
+% line-numbered parallel passages in prose.
+% \textsf{poemscol} is not, however, designed for typesetting critical editions of large
+% scale prose works, although very possibly it could be tweaked to 
+% work.  For critical editions of prose works, several
+% other packages are available, including the \texttt{EDMAC} format, a

+% completely independent set of macros for critical editions which
+% builds on \textsf{manypar} and \textsf{lineno}, by Uwe L\"{u}ck.
+%
+% \textsf{poemscol} can annotate prose marked in ``paragraph number: sentence number''
+% format (or bible chapter and verse).
+% 
+% \textsf{poemscol} also provides 
+% the ability to make cross references to verse line numbers, to line numbers in prose sections,
+% or to paragraph and sentence numbers in sections with ``paragraph and sentence'' annotation.
+% 
+% \textsf{poemscol} also provides a few bells and whistles, such as the ability
+% to create new endnote or footnote sections on the fly, the ability
+% to center a poem on the longest line (or to move the margin of the
+% verse block wherever you wish), and the ability to place a mark in the margin
+% indicating where in the apparatus commentary on that line can be found.
+% For long poems,  \textsf{poemscol} can provide a
+% a special running header which indicates which lines are to be
+% found on the page. 
+% It has a special command to place 
+% the publication date under the poem just at the left margin of the verse block even
+% when the verse block is centered.
+% \textsf{poemscol} also provides notes
+% to be placed just after a poem (rather than at the bottom of the page 
+% or in the endnote sections). It gives the user 
+% fine control over the placement of line numbers and the placement and format of titles
+% including multi-line titles.
+% The user can choose whether to concatenate the notes for a poem into a single paragraph,
+% or to give each note a separate paragraph. The user can print the notes
+% in single or multicolumn format. The names of things like the Contents can

+% |\poemtitlenotitle{}|, with its paradoxical name, is for poems 
+% without formal titles. Usually such poems are referred to by their 
+% first lines. This macro does not produce a title in the text, but 
+% sets its argument in the table of contents and in the notes. Usually 
+% you use the first line as the moral equivalent of a title.
+% 
+% \DescribeMacro{\poemtitleitalic{}{}} 
+% Titles
+% with italics or other special formatting posed special problems in
+% earlier versions (before version 1.7) since the typesetting commands
+% gummed up how I passed parameters around that I was unable to solve
+% using |\protect|.  All of these commands are obsolete now, but are
+% retained for backward compatibility.
+% |\poemtitleitalic{}{}| takes
+% two arguments.  The first is the title of the poem with the italics
+% (or small capitals or international characters or what have you),
+% for typesetting, and the second is the title without the commands,
+% for cross reference purposes.  (Actually, now that \textsf{poemscol}
+% no longer needs to treat italics in titles in a different way, it can
+% be anything you want, since the second argument is discarded.)
+% 
+%  \DescribeMacro{\poemtitlenotitleitalic{}{}}
+%  |\poemtitlenotitleitalic{}{}|, with its doubly paradoxical name, 
+% is for poems without formal titles but with italicized words in their

+% first is the first line with the italics (for typesetting 
+% purposes), and the second is the 
+% first line without the italics (for crossreference purposes). This command
+% is obsolete now that italics in titles no longer require special 
+% handing, but is retained for backwards compatibility.

+% \subsection{~Problem titles}
+% \DescribeMacro{\poemtitlebaretitle}
+% \DescribeMacro{\poemtitleonlycontents}
+% \DescribeMacro{\poemtitleonlynotes}
+% A user planned to attach a footnote to a poem title, but didn't want the mark or the text of the
+% note to show up in the contents or in the endnotes. I would usually
+% have advised him to use |\sources| to send the text of the note to the endnotes,
+% but he really wanted the title to include the footnote mark and to put the footnote
+% on the same page. The solution to this problem
+% was to set the title in the text separately from setting it in the notes and in the contents.
+% If you have a problem title, one for instance
+% in which the title in the text might cause problems in the contents or in the notes,
+% you can send information
+% separately to the places it will be used.
+% |\poemtitlebaretitle{}|, for instance simply sets the title in the text. Then
+% you can use |\poemtitleonlycontents{}| to send the title to the contents
+% and |\poemtitleonlynotes{}| to send the title to the notes. These commands
+% are defined for poem titles, and for some but not all of  the whole range of titles including
+% sequence titles, sequence section titles, sequence section subtitles, and so on. But
+% it would be easy to roll your own versions of these commands by looking below at
+% section \ref{customizing titles}, page \pageref{customizing titles}, or at the
+% models in the code below at  section \ref{poemtitlecode}, page \pageref{poemtitlecode}.
+%
+% \DescribeMacro{\poemtitlenocontents}
+% \DescribeMacro{\poemtitlenonotes}
+% \DescribeMacro{\poemtitlenotitle{}}
+% There are also macros to send information to any two of the relevant locations
+% but not the third. |\poemtitlenocontents| sends the title to the text and to the notes,
+% but not to the contents. |\poemtitlenonotes| sends the title to the text and to the 
+% contents, but not to the notes. |\poemtitlenotitle| sends the title to the contents and the
+% notes, but not to the main text.
+%
+% Remember that in the last resort, you can send information to the contents section
+% with |\literalcontents|. To actually set a contents entry using |\literalcontents| is a tall order,
+% however, since you would have to include all the information from the |\c@ntentsinfo| macro
+% for the relevant type of title. (For what |\c@ntentsinfo| does, 
+% see section \ref{customizing titles}, below.) 
+% For instance, for a poem called 
+% Test Poem that is the first in the volume, that would be:
+%
+% \begin{verbatim}
+% \literalcontents{\setlength\contentsentryoverrun{\contentsindenttwoamount }
+% \begin{contentsentryenvironment}
+% \contentsindentone
+% {\contentspoemtitlefont
+% Test
+% Poem}
+% \contentsleaders
+% \pageref{testpoemlabel} % pick a unique label
+% \end{contentsentryenvironment}
+% \par}
+% \end{verbatim}
+%
+% Another tricky thing about this method is the |\pageref| line in the above, which is a pageref to find 
+% the page the poem appears on. You should put |\label{testpoemlabel}|, with any unique
+% text for the label, on the page of the text where the poem occurs, in order to capture
+% the correct page number. (Alternatively, you could just put the actual page number in 
+% here instead of the pageref line.)
+%
+% Remember also that you can send information to the relevant notes sections using 
+% |\literaltextnote|, |\literalexplain|, and |\literalemend|.
+% 
+% 	
+% \subsection{~Customizing titles} \label{customizing titles} \textsf{poemscol} provides a large
+% number of ways of setting titles, but conceivably you may wish to
+% define your own.  Here is a template for designing a new kind of
+% title.  Suppose you wish to create a kind of title called
+% |\mytitle{}|.  It would take one argument, which would be the title
+% itself.  The macro defining the |\mytitle| command should call three macros,
+% |\set@p@emtitle|, to set the title in the main text and make the
+% label for use by the contents and notes sections, |\c@ntentsinfo| to
+% set the title in the table of contents, and |\t@xtnotesinfo|, which
+% sets the title in the notes sections.  (You should enclose the whole thing
+% between |\makeatletter| and |\makeatother|.) 
+%
+%\DescribeMacro{\set@p@emtitle}
+% |\set@p@emtitle|
+% takes six arguments, which are, in order, (1) the title (which, if
+% you are calling this command inside of the definition of |\mytitle|
+% should just be |#1|), (2) commands to be issued before setting the
+% title (minimally, a penalty, such as |\poemtitlepenalty|), (3) the
+% font size in which the title is to be set in the text (such as
+% |\poemtitlefont| or |\large|), (4) any indentation of the title
+% (|\relax| for |\poemtitle|, or |\titleindent| for
+% |\sequencesectiontitle|), (5) commands to be issued after the
+% title is set (such as |\afterpoemtitleskip|) and (6) the amount 
+% overrun lines in the title should be indented.  
+%
+%\DescribeMacro{\c@ntentsinfo}
+%|\c@ntentsinfo| takes
+% four arguments, which are, in order, (1) the title, (2) the
+% indentation of the title in the table of contents (such as
+% |\contentsindentone|), (3), the font size in which the title
+% should be set (such as |\contentspoemtitlefont|) and (4) the amount 
+% overrun lines in the table of contents should be indented (such as 
+% |\contentsindenttwoamount|). 
+%
+% \DescribeMacro{\t@xtnotesinfo}
+%  |\t@xtnotesinfo|
+% takes one argument, the title. 
+%
+%  So, for example, to create a new kind of title called |\mytitle| which looks
+% just like |\poemtitle|, issue
+% \begin{verbatim}
+% \makeatletter
+% \newcommand{\mytitle}[1]{%
+% \set@p@emtitle{#1}{\poemtitlepenalty}{\poemtitlefont}%
+% {\relax}{\nobreak\par\nobreak\afterpoemtitleskip\nobreak}{\z@}%
+% \c@ntentsinfo{#1}{\contentsindentone}{\contentspoemtitlefont}%
+% {\contentsindenttwoamount}%
+% \t@xtnotesinfo{#1}%
+% }
+% \makeatother
+% \end{verbatim}
+%
+% (The |\z@| which is the sixth argument to |\set@p@emtitle| above is
+% a constant set to zero. You will also notice that I became completely hysterical
+% on the subject of preventing a page break after a poem title.)
+
+% By default, \textsf{poemscol} 
+% does not indent the overrun portion of titles relative to the first 
+% line of the title, but if that first line is indented will set the 
+% overrun portions to be indented the same amount. Overrun portions 
+% of titles in the table of contents will be indented by one 
+% |\contentsindentamount| more than the first line is indented. Both 
+% of these behaviors can be changed by changing the arguments to 
+% |\set@p@emtitle| or |\c@ntentsinfo|. 
+% 
+%\DescribeMacro{\firstlinesettings}
+%\DescribeMacro{\middlelinesettings}
+%\DescribeMacro{\lastlinesettings}
+%\DescribeMacro{\restoresinglelinesettings}
+% If you wish to design a title which might have multiple lines, 
+% and you wish to specify how those lines are broken up, you
+% will need to write three macros: one for the first line, one for
+% middle lines, and one for the last lines. 
+% (This only matters if you care how the title is broken up. You 
+% can choose to let \LaTeX\ do the breaking if you wish.) Before issuing
+% |\set@p@emtitle| issue |\firstlinesettings|, |\middlelinesettings|,
+% or |\lastlinesettings| (as the case may require).  And issue
+% |\restoresinglelinesettings| last of all in each of your three
+% macros.  The lines will be broken in the table of contents and in
+% the body of the text in the same way, but will be run in in the
+% notes sections.
