If you want to have tables in your gemtext, just burn them in:

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. · 10 months ago

I took this exact approach when I needed to render a table in one of my math articles: gemini://jsreed5.org/math/20220302-generating-crossed-ladders/ · 10 months ago
