Re: "@skyjake Why does Lagrange normalize spacing in gemtext?..."
I do 2 spaces after a fullstop, but that's because my typewriting teacher made a big yelling point to always do 2 spaces after a fullstop.

Yep. That stupid rule which never existed in professional typesetting is one of the eternal gifts left to us by monospace typewriters, much like QWERTY layout, designed specifically to handicap typing speed so keys would not jam.
@skyjake Why does Lagrange normalize spacing in gemtext? The spec mentions this is up to the client. I'm curious what went into your decision here to remove tabs, etc
