Remember that not everything has to be inline. Images aren't inline in
gemtext, and tables are a lot like images. In my opinion, the most
Gemini way of presenting a table is a link to a text/csv document.

As a bonus the user could configure a program to handle CSVs/TSVs that
best fit their needs. Some clients may choose to display inline like
others said.
As another bonus, the table is ready to be used by anyone who wants to
programmatically manipulate it, without any preprocessing.
A big YES to something simple like *SV, only use more advanced stuffif you absolutely need to.I don't want anyone to go through the pains I have gone throughgetting garbled Microsoft tables and just plain weird table abuse intoa usable format.
