The gemtext-format is very closely associated with the , as it is the most common way to serve textual content over the .

With the exception of preformatted-text, the gemtext-format is, a line-oriented format.

The gemtext-format supports:

s
• headings (up to three levels)
• paragraphs
• links (but not inline links)
• lists (but not nested lists)

Links

The gemtext-format only supports links that are on their own line.

The gemtext-format does not support (inline) links within paragraphs, block-quotations, lists, preformatted-text, or anywhere else.

A gemtext link looks like this:

	=> http://example.com/

Here is another example gemtext link that includes some text:

	=> http://example.com/ An example website

And here is yet another gemtext link:

	=> gemini://example.com/ An example gemini capsule

But also, this too is a link:

	=>http://example.com/ An example website

(Note that the space between the "=>" and the URL is missing with this last example.)
