00608: A recipe for writing lyrics blocks (i.e. auto-line-breaks)

Description: I'd like it if there was a markup allowing to easily insert lyrics in pages, without the need to manually insert \\s on each line. That is, it'd enable auto-line-breaking in chosen lines. (Note, that [@ @] doesn't do the trick, as the font shouldn't be fixed-width.)

A possible example markup might be:

 
(:lyrics:)
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
You love me
And I love you.

-> ''Unknown poet.''
(:endlyr:)

resulting in something like:

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
You love me
And I love you.

I hope I have time myself to write a plug-in for that :) (as I think there's no way to do that automatically at the moment?)

Btw., I think that might be a thing to be added to the core after it's gone through the testing phase.

Btw2, I've seen Cookbook.ChordPro, but I think about something much simplier. That is, exactly as simple as I've described above.

Use (:linebreaks:):

(:linebreaks:)
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
You love me
And I love you.

-> ''Unknown poet.''
(:nolinebreaks:)
