The default trick that most clients have to deal with unknown mime format is to open them in an external application. But that won't work properly - any relative path links won't work correctly. There is a fair amount of html being served in gemini and the occasional bit of markdown too. GUS has some content type statistics here: gemini://gus.guru/statistics There are a couple of clients that directly support these formats, but much less so compared to text/gemini which is supported by all. The ones I know of (there may well be others) are: render text/html: Kristall, GemiNaut, Diohsc (via converter) render text/markdown: Kristall Client authors could plug in an converter into their pipeline if they wish, as a way to display such content in a client that only supports gemtext. There are converters you can use, such as md2gemini and html2gmi for that. But I think for now, most clients will simply render text/html and text/markdown as plain text (not interpreted). - Luke
