HTML links translated to Gemini

When translating HTML links to Gemini, you can use the “title” attribute of the link as the link title.

In Markdown, that looks like this:

Hi, here's my [thing that I just casually mention][tt] sometimes.

[tt]: gemini://my.boring/url "I like this link"

becomes

Hi, here's my thing that I just casually mention sometimes.

=> gemini://my.boring/url I like this link

In Markdown, you can also use the reference location as the link location.

I’m not happy about seeing a bunch of [1] in the text that then are supposed to be connected to to links that have no title and just a date instead of an url slug.

Instead, I like to read the text uninterrupted followed by a list of “read more” style links.

For more corner cases, see the documentation to 7off and feel free to snarf ideas from there for your own implementations.
