One way I think gemini got this right was in using links for images.
Unfortunately, alt text for preformatted blocks does introduce
content only likely to be seen by a minority of users.
One solution lies within your comment: remove preformatted blocks from
text/gemini so that we have to link to resources of text/plain or text/
whatever.
I like this suggestion.
Personally, if I could choose a client that displayed these inline when
clicked I'd be happy.
Thanks! Me too.
It would provide both content type and alt text by removing features -
the feature that happens to be greatest extensibility risk in gemtext.
Ideal.
Reminds me of some threads discussing sophisticated table syntax within gemtext vs. linking to such resources, e. g.

The question isn't "is it useful?" The question is "can we do without?"
