Change .lr to .md is possible?

We are using *.lr extension that is ugly to read or edit online (example). It is possible to change extension (to traditional *.md) without impact in the project?

I worry that the top few lines of a .lr file is not markdown. So to call that markdown is confusing. But I think an include directive, inspired by and using jinja, in a body field could be interesting and very useful:

{{ include "my_content.md" }}

An “include *.md” at file.lr can be simple and will separate the “pure markdown” from its templates or formating instructions. May be a strategy like transclusion at Wikipedia.

…The point is that REAME.md files are so commom, and we need “dual function”: navigate in Github/Gitlab/etc. and produce a site. It is not only a source to produce HTML.

PS: for some contexts, we don’t matter about “quite markdown” is only an issue for visualize/edit friendility.
