I'm new to gemini and I'd like to make my website (https://itwont.work) also available as a gemini site (capsule? Not sure what the terminology is).
The site is a wiki-style site and as a result of that contains a lot of inline links. I'm not sure what the convention for converting that to gemini text is, given that there is no inline links in text in gemini. The two ideas I have for this are making them like footnotes or just putting them the line after.
Hi Nico
I think both are fine - there is no single established convention on this. Perhaps from gopher, the square bracket or unicode superscript footnote convention is reasonably well established, but simply emitting them after the relevant paragraph is OK too. Personally I prefer there to be a citation marker, as it makes it easier to see where the citation is made. Others prefer to just list the links without citation placemarkers, perhaps not even numbered.
I have a utility html2gmi which has to solve the same problem - it provides a number of options, including whether to number the citation placeholders, to number the footnote links, and the frequency of emitting the links within the document.

So horses for courses you might say.
