/*
No, but in space cramped human-small, like this!
Then, Thoas, spare the pains of a third sermon,
To-day I've heard the second.

<sc>Thoas.</sc>                       Pardon, sire!
And yet you know 'tis not the young man's limbs
In which a change of weather gives its warning,
It is the old man's bones that feel it first.      [<i>Exit.</i>

<sc>Gyges.</sc> He goes in sorrow!

Inline stage directions (line end)

Stage directions at the end of a line stay on same line as dialogue. Use six spaces to indicate right-justification.

Aligning indented dialogue

When aligning the second half of an interrupted line, as here with "Pardon, sire!", align for the plain text version, taking account of how the markup will look in plain text. In this case, the small caps tags will be dropped in the plain text.
