MathML/similar via preformatted blocks would be fine IMO, *if the user

I don't think it would be a good idea to embed Tex inline in gemini.Some people can not read Tex and if their client didn't support it,they would see weird characters. One of the ideas behind gemini I likeis that even plain text gemtext without any rendering is readable.
I would propose a bit different strategy, link a .tex file and have aspecial client that can render it inline after clicking on the linksimilar to how lagrange renders images.
This way is much more universal, we don't have to extend gemtext forevery use case, we can use existing formats.
