AS A PHONE WILL SET IT — rewrapped lines marked
The apparition of these faces in the crowd:Petals on a wet, black bough. and the ones with longer measures, the Whitman line that keeps going past every margin anyone planned for,carry the reader with them or lose the turn entirely.
EVERY LINE HOLDS AT 320px.No forced breaks at this width and size — your lineation survives intact.
WHAT THIS IS
Most journal websites re-wrap verse on small screens and never tell you. The Line Check sets your poem at real device widths in the type sizes journals actually use, and flags every forced break. It pairs with the index’s tech report cards, which grade each journal on whether lineation survives.
HONEST FINE PRINT
Runs entirely in your browser; your poem is never sent, stored, or logged. Built by the editor, who also makes Lineate, a WordPress plugin for publishing verse with its line breaks intact.
