A simple viewer for local GemText files.
GemView is a little command-line tool for viewing and browsing local text files, mainly in the GemText markup language (see below).
Features:
GemView is open source under the MIT license. See source code:
For more information:
GemView requires Python 3 and the Urwid library. Both are readily available in most Linux and BSD distributions, or else from the python.org website and the Python Package Index, respectively.
A terminal emulator that supports ANSI control codes is required.
gemview.py [ -h | -v | <file or directory> ]
Links can be clicked, but you need a keyboard to navigate. Shortcuts:
GemView can also be imported as a Python module and used that way.
As of 3 February 2023, GemView appears to work reliably, but needs more testing. To follow external links, a graphical desktop and browser are recommended.
You can usually find me on IRC:

Would love to hear from you.
