Titled Proper Poem.

Template for poems for personal use (by Alien333, tell me if it messes up or needs to be updated).

This is {{ppoem}} except it makes a title, but I also put here in general things I would like for poems. Means I will also use this on not-title pages sometimes.

Use

1/title the title of the poem.
2/text the text of the poem.
st/start and e/end are passed, respectively, to the first and the last poem delimited by >><<.
All the rest is also passed to ppoem.

The full parameter names always take precedence over the abbreviation if both are available.

If text and 2 are not given, 1 will be assumed to contain the text (title will always be the title).

This aims to factorize formatting, with the title having class .wst-tpp-title and the first words^[1] .wst-tpp-first-words.

(This template will not make empty titles or poems.)

Other things:

>><< (on its own line) delimits centering, meaning makes the centering of different parts of the poem independent. Note: for single stanzas, rather use ppoem's {cblock}.
Relative indents: +[digit]> (at beginning of line) indents the line exactly the length of the line respectively [digit] lines above (for 1 line you can just do +>).
; (at beginning of line, as many as you want) does a reverse indent (opposite of :)
_..._ (on its own line, instead of a stanza break): makes a break [number or _'s] lines high

↑ selected by the pretty consistently applied criteria of at least two letters a word at a time. The first words class is only applied when there is no HTML/mw formatting on that line. That is a) to not have to bother with stuff like links, and b) because sometimes (especially with two-word names) it doesn't select the right words, and like this you can just manually add the corresponding template to that line, and it won't add anything

Examples

Example

{{tpp|Showing Everything|
{smaller}
{{fqm}}There is often
A quotation from another poem
Centered apart
>>{{sc|Someone}}
>><<
Other Times,
:The Start
Has Very
:Short Lines
>><<
But then it gets much longer
(Only do this if in the original,
It is centered differently)

Sometimes, after a while,
And often irregularly, it 
does this.

+2>And the next stanza picks
Up where the last one left.
Other times,
+> It's not on
A Stanza break, or even
It picks
Up on a line
From a while ago
+3>Like this one does
;{{sc|Someone}}
Other times, in plays
Most lines are indented
Except for the name of those speaking

;{{sc|Someone else}}
And it would be a bore
To indent all the other lines
So it's simpler to reverse indent
Those that are annoying
{{***|3|4em|char=·}}
I think that's it—no, it's not
___
Because sometimes you need
Longer stanza breaks}}
