Formatting Gemtext for Gopher - further tweaks ♊


Formatting Gemtext for Gopher ♊


I thought some more about this since my original posting and a few things began to bother me.



So I have tweaked the script and 'rectified' these, as follows.



I am a little sad about the quotes, as I thought my previously suggested display was nicer looking but styling is less important than understanding.

Update [✍ 2022-01-11]


After seeing Szczeżuja's use of an older version of my script on his new Gopher hole, I realised that I am not willing to let go of my "fancy quoting" just yet. I really think it looks great when looking at his "Gopher novice" articles.

So… I have added "fancy quoting" back. 🎉


I also removed the '```' before and after preformatted text.



The only difference between regular text and code-like text (```) now is that for the latter, line length is not limited and it is not filtered to remove any characters.
