What you are describing in general concept is a Content Management System
(CMS), or a more specific idea would be a wiki.

https://tiddlywiki.com/static/Introduction%2520Video.html

	This is Tiddly Wiki, a very small wiki. It lets you edit and organize your
notes. It uses a browser as a viewing / editing tool. It saves all the contents
to a single file, meaning sending the current state of game notes involves
sending (or sharing) a single file and directions to open in any browsers.

http://traveller5.net/tools/library-data/

	Another example with a curated set of Traveller Library data. It's a 2.5Mb file.

	I've recommended Tiddlywiki to several people for exactly this kind of work, to
a positive response.
