I think we don't need to get hung up on whether Gemtext is hypertext.
I'm not sure. For outreach, it is important. If we claim that Gemini
is hypertext, beginning authors of gemtexts will be disappointed when
they discover they cannot add a link on a word.
Yes the web has inevitably set a lot of cultural norms expectations (inlinemarkup, images, stylesheets, fonts etc) for online hypermedia that Geminihas to push against when first encountered by new authors. It may turn someoff, but I hope enough will stay and come to appreciate the benefits aswell as the losses of the simplicity of its choices.
