Fix #5: Verse typesetting
Thanks to the pandoc-discussion thread at <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/pandoc-discuss/_JnTJnsSK3k>, line breaks in verse have been converted to <span class="line">s, which enables the CSS to style them with hanging indents, given a too-small viewport. This commit also includes a makefile edit to reflect this change, and the Haskell source and executable of the pandoc filter.
