I’ve taken to using Gemini by writing Markdown and translating to Gemini 99% of the time. It still functions as a good language to send, I couldn’t do without the markdown features. In particular:
1. Markdown handles ordered lists
2. Tables (which render fine in Gemini, using the right characters)
3. Newlines do not create a new line
That last one really helps writing with git. All my prose end up in a git, and having each paragraph seen as a single chunk just feels dirty, even if merge conflicts are unlikely.
The md2gemini python-package formats tables and such, and even converts links to documents nearby.
Starting with Markdown also makes a nice base-language, which can later convert to a web page, or pdf.
