I suppose one might quibble whether Gemtext is markup - I see it as a line based markup format since the line type "#, *, => " is embedded in the line itself. You can also think of it as a menu like Gophermap, although it's not such a strict menu type as a Gophermap, but you can see the provenance from that line of thinking. Gemtext is the unexpected and surprisingly successful love child of Gophermaps and Markdown. We all hope to inherit the best attributes from each of our parents... Regards ?- Luke
