Re: "[gemini link] Visual Gemtext Primer I created a visual..."
@michaelnordmeyer:
What happens to a text line, where I have two spaces in a row?
The specification says that spacing in text lines can be normalized, so it's up to the client what happens there. The spaces can be normalized to one space, or they can be kept as multiple.

@skyjake The exact wording is not excatly clear. From the spec:
For example, variable width fonts may be used, spacing may be normalised, with spaces between sentences being made wider than spacing between words, and other such typographical niceties may be applied.
It can also mean, that just the space between sentences can be varied with unicode spaces of different length.
Given that Gemini is a modernized Gopher, and Solderpunk uses tabs to align his links, normalization of inline whitespace could very well be the goal.
[gemini link] Visual Gemtext Primer I created a visual Gemtext primer some months ago to spot the difference in the rendering of Gemtext pages with different browsers. Today I added a section at the bottom, because some clients behave differently and the spec is not very clear about this. What's your take?
