I could not understand how that can be correct? Gemtext *is* indeed
a hypertext format with hyperlinks. A hypertext is merely any form
of text and links forming a graph structure that allows users to
navigate the links.
I disagree. Gemini has links but not hyperlinks. This is why, forinstance, it is hard to translate automatically HTML (or any formatwith hyperlinks) in gemtext; you are forced to postpone the links atthe end of the paragraph, thus losing context.
Many users would be surprised if we told them Gemini has hyperlinks,when discovering how it works.
