I've been giving some thought to how to share poetry and other, let's say,

more typographically rich content in Gemini.

Can you explain more clearly what your poetry requires beyond theplain-text formatting of ```...``` sections? The only thing I can think ofis that it will appear in a monowidth font.

Enviroments. We already have one: plain text. We could have something like

```

roses are red

this preserved space is not blue

so poetry you can do

```

The spaces should be preserved already because of the ```.
