So, with apologies for hijacking this thread with something totally
opposed to its original idea, I'd like to encourage client authors to
close this extensibility hole by not suppressing text after the "```"
in preformatting toggle lines.
As far as I can see, the spec seems clear enough on this: "5.4.3: Any line
whose first three characters are "```" (i.e. three consecutive back ticks
with no leading whitespace) are preformatted toggle lines. These lines
should NOT be included in the rendered output shown to the user."
That passage predates the later additions to the spec in the same section about what to do with text on these lines. I guess the intention was to make it clear that clients aren't expected to actually print "```". I don't think it should be read as ruling out printing the alt text.-------------- next part --------------A non-text attachment was scrubbed...Name: signature.ascType: application/pgp-signatureSize: 195 bytesDesc: not availableURL: <https://lists.orbitalfox.eu/archives/gemini/attachments/20200910/d603ae3c/attachment.sig>
