Finally, a role for the DFW-inspired footnote-heavy writing style!
Edit: to be more constructive, it doesn't seem like this would be hard to represent in the underlying data:
...
<p>omnia haec, quaecumque feret uoluntas
caelitum, temptare simul parati,
pauca nuntiate meae puellae
non bona dicta.</p>
<p>cum suis uiuat ualeatque moechis,
quos simul complexa tenet trecentos,
nullum amans uere, sed identidem omnium
ilia rumpens;</p>
<aside>
The next part is usually taken at face value, but, really? Try
reading it in the most insincere and melodramatic way possible and
it becomes quite funny. His love is cut down like a flower by the
plow? Seriously? Have you read the rest of Catullus's poetry?
Have you read the rest of this poem? The last verse was about how
many lovers his ex girlfriend is sleeping with (300 at once).
</aside>
<p>nec meum respectet, ut ante, amorem,
qui illius culpa cecidit uelut prati
ultimi flos, praetereunte postquam
tactus aratro est</p>
I'm sure there are much better ways to do it than that; that seems
like a workable starting point, though.
But I'm really surprised that newspapers and magazines really present
different versions of the same story to digital readers vs. print
readers.
