You can just do it like in 1983 and use *emphasize*, _underline_, /italics/ ;-) · 2 years ago

You can use Unicode fonts for emphasis, bold, and even special fonts like Fraktur. But as I understand it, this approach doesn't currently work well with most screenreaders. · 2 years ago

Oh, i forgot block quotes too, my bad. Heres another interesting link on gemtext i found gemini://idiomdrottning.org/gemtext · 2 years ago

As far as i know, no. No text formatting in that way. But gemtext does more than just headers. specifically, 3 levels of headers, the ability to make list, URL linking, and preformatted text (for ASCII art and source code)

Incase you havent seen it yet, heres some more technical documentation of gemtext. gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/gemtext.gmi · 2 years ago
