One of the criticisms of my table idea was that it wasn't backwards compatible with existing gemini client implemintations and would look like a mess there. Given that there is not one but two chatacters dedicated to tabulation in ASCII, I decided to play with them a bit. Here they are:
11 12 13 21 22 23
11 12 13 21 22 23
Do these look like tables to you? Not to me, for sure. After looking a bit more carefuly I have noticed that vertical tab description is "Move down to the next vertical tab stop." which I supose says nothing about also moving to start of the line. Adding CR fixed it in terminal.
11 12 13
21 22 23
11 12 13 21 22 23
Now this looks more like table, altough it would break if tabstops are too short
11 looooooooooooooooong 13
21 22 23
11 looooooooooooooooong 13 21 22 23
