Remember that not everything has to be inline. Images aren't inline in
gemtext, and tables are a lot like images. In my opinion, the most
Gemini way of presenting a table is a link to a text/csv document.

As a bonus the user could configure a program to handle CSVs/TSVs thatbest fit their needs. Some clients may choose to display inline likeothers said.

As another bonus, the table is ready to be used by anyone who wants toprogrammatically manipulate it, without any preprocessing.
