Having formating issue and read this in Gemini specification:
Note also that consecutive non-blank text lines do not form any kind of coherent unit or block such as a "paragraph": all text lines are independent entities.
And since I've started gemini I'm happy to set a 80 characters text width in my editor.
I have now the explanation why I see some formatting issues on my capsule depending the browser or the tool which parsed it.

@birabittoh, ah yes, I see what you mean. · 2 years ago
@eph because then i would have to handle text wrapping myself and that would not look good on all screens *sigh* · 2 years ago
@birabittoh, why not use preformatted text and format it like a quote? e.g.

what I mean is something like
<<<the linux freedoms
1. first freedom
2. second feeedom
3. etc.

Yeah, I think multiline citations should be suppprted. I was citing the list of user freedoms in the GNU website once and I noticed it looks so bad on some browser. Wish we could have a quotation block like for preformatted text... · 2 years ago
@eph as it should be ❤️ · 2 years ago
This one thing about Gemini I don't like. I don't use line breaks at 80 characters but I do like to put each sentence on its own line. It makes it easy to re-arrange your sentences when you're editing and most markup formats join them into a single paragraph anyway. With Gemini that's suddenly not possible :( · 2 years ago
I never break my lines at 80 characters when I'm writing gemtext; that is, I leave it up to the client to display the text as it prefers. · 2 years ago
