Gemtext Tables, No HTML Required โ€” If you spend any time writing in Gemtext, you quickly run into a familiar limitation: there are no native tables. That's part of the charm - Gemtext is intentionally minimal - but it also means that anything resembling structured data needs a bit of creativity. One surprisingly effective workaround is to lean on Unicode box-drawing characters. The result isn't just functional - it's pleasantly retro, highly portable, and fits perfectly within the constraintsโ€ฆ
