Then use a client which makes things look like that! You can specify annotate your code snippets in the Gemtext markup format, you know, just encourage people to put "lang:C" or "lang:Go" there and write a client which adds highlighting.
The web has limitations, too. You work within them.
- eska 6y agoYour website specifically says that Gemini intentionally isn't extensible and that any such attempts are shunned by the mailing list. This sounds like the same fragmentation disaster that we had with the web.. An Internet Explorer comes a long, has a certain killer feature, everyone starts using that new client, other clients need to adapt the feature if they want to stay relevant.. So as somebody who also works on very minimalistic, static sites, I don't see your philosophy working out, based on history. Your aversion to even typography is also not user friendly. You claim it is, but in the end it's just all about you. You do not consider what most people consider a "document".
- ddevault 6y agoGemini clients can, and do, take typography seriously. They don't let you do typesetting. And in either case - the web is famously bad at this, compared to, say, TeX. You always work within your limitations, no matter what the platform is.
