Plus glad to see it call "Gemini" instead of "Gemini Protocol", too bad google stole the name after Gemini was a thing. And unlike gopher, Gemini renders fine on Cell Phones. As I mentioned before in these threads, I find Gemini far easier to maintain then anything associated with html. It is very simple. I had moved my WEB space to Gemini on sdf* a while ago and my old WEB space points to my Gemini Site. FWIW, google forced Gemini to change its URLs, it is now: https://geminiprotocol.net/docs/gemtext-specification.gmi https://geminiprotocol.net/docs/gemtext-specification.gmi and the FAQ, the article has the old URL https://geminiprotocol.net/docs/faq.gmi https://geminiprotocol.net/docs/faq.gmi * sdf: https://wiki.sdf.org/doku.php?id=gemini_site_setup_and_hosting_features https://wiki.sdf.org/doku.php?id=gemini_site_setup_and_hosti... List of clients are here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_(protocol) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_(protocol)

From the Wiki page the formatting capabilities to me look too limiting. How about tables? Are nested (numbered/bulleted) lists a thing?

  >From the Wiki page the formatting capabilities to me look too limiting That is the point of Gemini, simplicity :) That is why I like it. >Now about tables? Are nested (numbered/bulleted) lists a thing? No and no. If you need those, there is the WEB. Gemini is not a html replacement but a simple protocol.
