Support poetry manuscripts

Three parts, really:

Formatting options to include left, middle, and right alignment.
Formatting options to include bold and italic text.
The ability to include scenes (documents) without having to use a containing chapter or part.

THanks!

Its very hard and not intuitive to format for poetry manuscripts and I'd like that.

I'm glad to see this is "Under construction." My two-cents; give us an alignment button (left / center / right) that defaults to 'left,' and an indention button (on / off) that defaults to 'on.' Then, as long as the formatting carries to the next line when we hit Enter, I'd have all the tools I need for poetry and prose.

Yes, I’d love for dabble to become more “poetry friendly.” And these are some great ideas. In addition, I’d love the option to indent/format single lines. Maybe an on/off button for automatic paragraph formatting or the option to start a poetry/freestyle manuscript that still has the focused writing but not the auto formatting? Something like that would be lovely (at some point in the future).
