HTML can do it easily enough, with a series of two-row
tables with one cell per word on each line.  I wrote an
awk script a while ago to take formatted plain text
input and convert it into HTML with such tables for the
interlinear glosses; it's on my website, at the bottom
of the gzb page.

E.g., here is the first line of "The Wolf and the Lamb"
in the gloss output produced by that script.


<table cellspacing="10" id="t3_6565272">
<tr><td> v&#301;j </td> <td> s&#466; </td> <td> mje </td> <td> i,
</td> <td> fu&#331; </td> <td> &#345; </td> <td> pw&#301;m </td> <td>
&#293;y-i </td> <td> v&#226;-o&#331;-z&#244; </td>  </tr>
<tr><td> time </td> <td> certain </td> <td> past </td> <td> at </td>
<td> spring </td> <td> from </td> <td> water </td> <td> PAT-at </td>
<td> digestion-into-V.ACT </td>  </tr>
</table>
