Have a look at the FB2 format.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FictionBook
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/FB2

The main site for fb2 format is at
http://www.fictionbook.org/index.php/Eng:FictionBook
but most of the site is in Russian so you will have to use translate.google.com

This is THE format FBReader was made for.
FB2 has all the tags for all the styles.
FB2 is an XML file, so it is very similar to HTML, it is just more strict. (there always has to be a closing tag, the tags must be balanced, there are mandatory tags that have to be in every book, otherwise it won't be rendered)
