Attention Gemininauts!

I have officially updated the spec-spec just now.        SUMMARY OF CHANGES:

Section 1.3.5 (text/gemini response) has been edited and expanded inseveral places, to define new line types.  The only non-optional changedefines lines beginning with ``` as toggling a "preformatted" mode,within which all lines (including those which would constitute linklines outside of preformatted mode) must be presented verbatim in afixed width font.

IMPLICATIONS FOR SERVER AUTHORS:	 None	  IMPLICATIONS FOR CLIENT AUTHORS:	   Clients now need to detect and correctly handle preformatted lines.

Clients MAY optionally recognise heading lines and unordered list itemlines.	    IMPLICATIONS FOR CONTENT AUTHORS:

Authors with ASCII art, source code or other content which may appearincorrectly when displayed in a variable width font or with minorwhitespace normalisation should enclose said content withinpreformatting toggle lines.

Cheers,Solderpunk
