   <head>Encoding Textual Structures Across Verses</head>
   <p>It is possible that certain textual structures may span multiple lines of verse, either by
      incorporating more than one, or by crossing line hierarchy. This is common,
      for example, when lines contain reported thought or speech (i.e. <gi>said</gi>),
      or other forms of quotation (i.e. <gi>q</gi>). For these cases, it is recommended practice
      to fragment and reconstruct the elements representing the textual structures.

   <p>The following example from Margaret Cavendish's <title>Nature's Pictures</title> shows speech
      encoded across two lines reconstructed by chaining elements with <att>prev</att> and
