we need to embrace the simplicity of gemini and not make it a do-it-all. burned in tables work just fine.
however, if clients want to render, they still can. a somewhat good heuristic can detect the most popular types of burned in tables and offer to render them differently. works for most cases, which is good enough. gemini is a lot about good enough and less about perfection. · 11 months ago
