I am building a feed reader, so I am outputting plain text which cancontain some gemtext markup. I want to print it, but the clientshouldn't consider it a gemini markup. I could return "text/plain", butI need some gemini formatting in the same page. After some discussion onIRC yesterday, we found three approaches:
1. putting preformatting toggle lines before and after the user input```user input```- 10 more characters for each line (6 normal characters + 2x\r + 2x\n)- if user inputs ```, all content under it will have preformatting toggle reversed+ supported in all clients
2. putting a single space in front of the user input user input+ only 1 line+ supported in all clients- shifts the entire user input one character to the right
3. putting a single unicode invisible space in front of the user inputuser input+ doesn't change the horizontal position of the text- I am not sure what clients without support for outputting UTF-8 text will do with it
For now, I think the second option is best for me, am I missing someoptions?
