Re: "✍ Gemtext enhancements..."
I don't think this is a good idea. It handles pretty basic use cases poorly, and advanced ones not at all. I suggest burning tables directly into the gemtext.

As for ordered lists. I just use this:
It works with all clients, avoids needing syntax to define using numbers vs letters vs whatever. avoids syntax for (re)starting an ordered list at a number besides 1. In a lot of ways this is like "burning" a table into gemtext. You are burning the order into the list
Clients can be smart and detect this pattern if they want, and display it as an ordered list, just like some clients like Lagrange detect emojis as the first character of a link and render that in a special way.
✍ Gemtext enhancements... — I believe I found a method to make tables and ordered list in GemText without any major changes. I will post my take on this subject ASAP! 🤫
