Hello all, While I recognise this is beyond the spec: Any rogue clients outputting content in columns (I guess at 40 characters plus spacing)? Given I am working on kanban boards it would be nice if somebody has made my life a little easier. At my end Im temped to approach it in Emacs-Elpher, to see whether I can scoop up the buffer content in output differing chunks in multiple (readonly?) buffers ==================== Jonathan McHugh indieterminacy@libre.brussels (mailto:indieterminacy@libre.brussels)

Ill take this as reassurance that users are mature enough to use multiple windows and dont require so much spoonfeeding. Nethertheless, I am intrigued by how a form feed or seperator annotation could be implemented, which proposes column expectation (as discussed be me in a neighbouring thread) => gemini://gemi.dev/gemini-mailing-list/messages/007210.gmi > I haven’t had coffee yet, so I might be wildly misinterpreting where you’re going with this. You were in the right ballpark. I hope you managed a cuppa. === Jonathan
