[edit]By removing the line breaks, you're making it impossible for readers to make use of line numbers. The line breaks are fully intentional, even where a word is hyphenated across a line, because the edition is preserving line numbers from the original text. --EncycloPetey (talk) 16:41, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry about that. I'll go back and fix my error. The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 16:42, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- I think I've caught all the pages where this was an issue. Normally, we do join hyphenated words across lines. But in this series, there are line numbers, and removing the hyphenation invalidated the line numbers, which are an important feature of the editions. --EncycloPetey (talk) 16:45, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- @EncycloPetey: Is line 128 okay? With the word "pleasure" The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 16:48, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Which line 128? The numbering starts fresh in each Act. --EncycloPetey (talk) 16:50, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

- It is correct there because that is a poetic passage rather than a prose passage. The poetic passages wrap numbered lines, whereas the prose lines are numbered through the wrap. You can tell the difference between prose and poetry in this series by the depth of indentation. The prose passages are indented by an additional em over the poetic passages. On the page you linked, notice that "Trin," and "Ste." at the top of the page are in prose and have slightly deeper indentation than the lines following by "Cal.", "Ste.", "Ari." that are poetic. Lower class characters in Shakespeare often speak in prose. --EncycloPetey (talk) 17:07, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
