Hi!
I was going to send a long and passionate defence for the inclusion of
the horizontal rule (or "The Thematic Break" according to mozilla web
docs) when a line started with three hyphens. But on the last
paragraph I just realize I had to check the mailing list archive
before, and it turns out it had been already proposed, and not only
that, but I can't find a counter argument:
There's nothing to stop you from using three hyphens on a line to suggest a horizontal rule/thematic break. It's just not in the Gemini spec so whether or not a client supports it depends entirely on the client's developer. Likewise with asterisks for Markdown-style italics and bold, but a line that begins with an asterisk will still be rendered as an item in an unordered list even if there's a terminating asterisk in that line, because using * for unordered lists /is/ in the spec.
