I see all the text in one big block, with no paragraph breaks or line
endings. The page source doesn't have any html tags in the text, so
this is probably to be expected. The server didn't like the HTML I
gave it, though (it keeps complaining about unclosed tags).

Yes.

On similar lines, I'd like to see a 'Template Repository' where
templates that are too unwieldy for the official docs. For example, a
template for 20 part Brass Band marches, orchestral symphonies and the
like. lilyond-book snippets might fit quite naturally in this sort of
repository.

Of course, when I say 'I'd like to see' I don't mean 'I'd like to set
up and maintain' :-)

Yes, I forgot to add...!
