How to use gemini protocol

Need a browser: download Lagrange or Kristall (there are others as well)

See

https://geminiquicst.art

and scroll down to the "How do I read pages in Gemini" section.

You can write in Gemini using any plain text editor. The syntax is simple and markdown like. The levels of headers are determined by the number of `#` marks in the beginning of the line.
Hyperlinks are written with `=> URL text to describe` in a separate line
Lists are denoted with asterisk marks in the beginning of the line where you want to have them

That's it

There are lots and lots of stuff in gemini protocol, and it's worth exploring the gemspace. Of course you can share anything from images to pdfs, just not javascripts and CSS and that kind of thing, and the images do not show up inline, and you do not hae anything of the equivalent of iframe or you cannot play video, they are nevertheless linkable and will play on your browser or your browser will point to your default web browser if it cannot play the content directly there.
