    | {{tlb|Break lines}} | Transforms line breaks into <code><nowiki>&lt;br /&gt;</nowiki></code> tags. It is very similar to the {{tl|poem}} template, except that it does not invoke the <code><nowiki>&lt;poem&gt;</nowiki></code> MediaWiki extension.
    | {{tlb|Numbered verses}} | Quote poems showing the verse numbers
-   | {{tlb|Poem}} | {{tl|Blockquote}} variant for use with poems, song lyrics, and other things that would otherwise require the use of {{xtag|poem}} tags or frequent formatting elements (such as {{code|lang=html|code=<br />}}); requires substitution

    | {{tlb|Poetically break lines}}<small> (shortcut: {{tlb|pbl}})</small> | Designed to format poetry simply and reliably; it differs from {{tl|Poem quote}} in two significant ways: it does not add spacing around the poem that sets it apart as “block quote”, and it automatically provides hanging indentation when lines are so long that they wrap
    | {{tlb|Translated blockquote}} | Displays original language above and translated text below
