I also support the "spaces after all line type markers" idea, And Iagree with the other poster (Paper?) that one of gemtext's bestqualities is that it is intrinsically (and intuitively) human-readableeven without rendering. It is, in fact, a totally WYSIWYG format.

Into the future! Gary

P.S. Astrobotany is going to need to update its links though...

I'm on board. It improves human readability, and ensures consistency.

Okay, I am happy with this idea (in fact, for a minute or two I was
thinking "didn't we already do this?!" - no, that was with list items,
to avoid ambiguity with *this* kind of emphasis).
At this point it seems like we may as well go "whole hog" and insist on
at least one space after *all* the line type markers - that would mean
quote lines starting with "
" and link lines starting with "=
". Does
anybody object to *that*? I strongly suspect that almost everybody is
actually writing their content that way anyway, but perhaps not...
