Maybe this isn't too deep a rabbit hole


as per gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/gemtext.gmi that states:

> Anything which comes after the ``` characters of a line which togglespreformatted line *on* (i.e. the first, third, fifth, etc. toggling linesin a document) may be treated as "alt text" for the preformattedcontent.  In general you should not count on this content being visibleto the user but, for example, search engines may index it and screenreaders may read it to users to help the user decide whether thepreformatted content should be read aloud (which e.g. ASCII art generallyshould not be, but which source code perhaps should be).  There arecurrently no established conventions on how alt text should be formatted.


-- dash dash space would have been quite lovely, too.
