Description

Question arose from journal styling with @severett89 as to whether the balance between side-bar and article text is correct in Clean (and clarity), particularly for poetry journals. And whether this might be something that could be customised per journal. We found that when it came to poetry, lines were sometimes longer than the horizontal space which led to them having horizontal scroll bars.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the Clean and Clarity journal styling and reproduce the poetry layout with long lines; done means the article/sidebar balance is improved and poetry text no longer needs horizontal scrolling, with a per-journal customization if the existing styling supports it.
