sometimes a kind of seperator is used in literature, like e.g.:
* * *
⁂
This is called an [asterism][1], a type of "dinkus" or thematic break.There are many other forms of 'decoration' or section signifiers:
- fleuron ❦ ❧ ☙- interpuncts ···- section sign §- various other Unicode characters...
Long form writing sometimes necesitates thematic breaks where headingsdon't quite fit. I'd personally love two see proper ASCII gemtext markupfor thematic breaks. Something like:
/^---$/
The appearance of thematic breaks on a client (TUI/GUI) could be set toanything, like one of the aforementioned signifiers, aplain/double/wavy/dashed line, or even a custom image.
I'd love to see such personalisation.
