The plain text files could be compiled to be served as HTML over
HTTP but they could also be compiled so that they could be served over
other protocols such as Gemini <https://gemini.circumlunar.space/> and
Gopher <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopher_%28protocol%29>.  These two
protocols avoid the JavaScript trap
<https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html> and have free
software implementations of servers and clients.

This is another example of the flexibility provided by plain text files.
