Previous discussions about in-line styling are relevant here: gemini://gemi.dev/gemini-mailing-list/messages/003177.gmi There are some good comments there why it's a good idea and why it's not, and what the alternatives are. My suggestion back then was for clients to optionally allow users to define regular expressions to describe text that should be emphasized in different ways. No need for a spec change so long as you don't change the content (see the paragraph below), because the spec gives some room for interpretation regarding rendering. If you mean for these "**" not to be in-line, but to occur at the start of a line, note that Gemini doesn't have a concept of paragraphs and that every line break is printed, unlike e.g. Markdown which joins consecutive, non-empty lines into paragraphs. > Each client can interpret "highlighted" at will. For any semblance of backwards compatibility, clients that implemented this feature would need to show the original "**" in addition to handling it, or it might break existing documents. -- Philip
