Maybe this isn't too deep a rabbit hole

 ```schema.org
keywords: metadata, convention
license: wtf
 ```

as per gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/gemtext.gmi that states:

> Anything which comes after the ``` characters of a line which toggles
preformatted line *on* (i.e. the first, third, fifth, etc. toggling 
lines
in a document) may be treated as "alt text" for the preformatted
content.  In general you should not count on this content being visible
to the user but, for example, search engines may index it and screen
readers may read it to users to help the user decide whether the
preformatted content should be read aloud (which e.g. ASCII art 
generally
should not be, but which source code perhaps should be).  There are
currently no established conventions on how alt text should be 
formatted.

dash dash space would have been quite lovely, too.
