I would propose a bit different strategy, link a .tex file and have a
special client that can render it inline after clicking on the link

This way is much more universal, we don't have to extend gemtext for
every use case, we can use existing formats.
I agree completely. I do use LaTeX and related, and I do see the appealof inlining it, but keeping gemtext simple forever is more important. Ican imagine someone designing a renderer (which could use e.g. MathJaxor even just run it through LaTeX) or even a full-blown client for this.It's also imaginable that some clients in the future support dynamic(.dll / .so style) libraries which can render inline certain links, butthat's not happened yet (and I think there'd be a debate here on the MLfirst).
