Thanks. I didn't know about the LRC format, this is really interesting for the lyrics problem. But just to be clear, I'm not thinking (specifically) about lyrics, I'm thinking about having a standard format for sharing directories of textual or simple html documents for hosting privately. So if I wanted to share my smoothie recipes for instance, I'd just save them all to a .mds file for anyone to upload to their .mds application and not worry about directory structure or manually moving files around an actual filesystem.
Check out static site generator. I've specifically used Hugo which took markdown files as input/content, but there are many options.
They are also really easy to host on a git forge.
