'Cats' Musical Wiki

Perhaps it's time to change the lyrics format we use on this wiki (e.g. Memory#Lyrics). The blockquotes don't look nice in mobile view imo and the blockquotes source code is tedious (sometimes it indents and sometimes it doesn't; need to add <blockquote> and </blockquote> at the start and end of every verse; need to add <br /> to the end of every line etc).

I've looked at some of the big wikis to see what formatting they use for lyrics, and I think we could use something similar to the Lyric Wiki. Their format looks really neat in both full and mobile view. Here's an example.

Most of the other music-based wikis have similar formatting to them. We can copy one of the lyrics templates over, but it's essentially just something like this:

Example 1[]

Jemima/Sillabub:
Sunlight through the trees in summer
Endless masquerading

Both:
Like a flower as the dawn is breaking

Grizabella:
The memory is fading

Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is

Look -
A new day has begun

Example 2[]

Smaller/less overpowering font for the singer's name

Jemima/Sillabub:
Sunlight through the trees in summer
Endless masquerading

Both:
Like a flower as the dawn is breaking

Grizabella:
The memory is fading

Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is

Look -
A new day has begun
