Just after the feature freeze :) I remembered to post about this: is there an official way to escape stuff in text/gemini? For example in gemini://gemini-textboard.fgaz.me/thread/3 from post #37 onwards you can see that links, pre blocks, etc are all escaped with a backslash, but the backslash appears in the output an is kinda ugly.

I think the escaping is done pretty easily: Prefix your lines with a single space. Gemini requires you to have line identifiers to be at the very start of a line, so prefixing the line with a single space should escape the line itself. I've made a simple test file [0] for that, Kristall strips of leading spaces in pretty much all text except preformatted one to make a nice text rendering. You can see a "reference" rendering in [1].

That took even less time than I expected. >Only a matter of time until you see writers start escaping [text] gemini://gemi.dev/gemini-mailing-list/messages/001444.gmi Regards, -- Frank LENORMAND

That could work if clients start stripping leading whitespace. I don't know of any client that does this though. > I've made a simple test file [0] for that, Kristall strips of leading > spaces in pretty much all text except preformatted one to make a nice > text rendering. You can see a "reference" rendering in [1]. The whitespace seems to still be there though: https://framapic.org/jrL943673D6n/LaxAzkOCzEnL.png
If another * is found in the same line, it is not a bullet.
