There's nothing to stop you from using three hyphens on a line to suggest 
a horizontal rule/thematic break. It's just not in the Gemini spec so 
whether or not a client supports it depends entirely on the client's 
developer. Likewise with asterisks for Markdown-style italics and bold, 
but a line that begins with an asterisk will still be rendered as an item 
in an unordered list even if there's a terminating asterisk in that line, 
because using * for unordered lists /is/ in the spec.
