Just Another Test
I'm fiddling with the stylesheet so I need to have various kinds of content included here to make sure I don't have unexpected surprises later.
Gemtext
Normal content looks like this. Words collected into sentences, which are then aggregated to form paragrphs.
Somebody else said something important.
It was so important it took two paragraphs to cover all the details.
+-----------+---------+---------+
| 1.1 | 1.2 | 1.3 |
+===========+=========+=========+
| 2.1 | 2.2 | 2.3 |
+-----------+---------+---------+
| 3.1 | 3.2 | 3.3 |
+-----------+---------+---------+
| 4.1 | 4.2 | 4.3 |

H3 level heading
10 REM This is my first BASIC program.
20 PRINT "Hello world!"

Here is a link to => spartan://jdcard.tilde.team my Spartan page.
We might also encounter a list:
- apples
- pears
- oranges
- bananas
HTML
Since I'm switching my work to Spartan why would I care what happens here?
- Term
- Definition 1
- Definition 2
- Terminator
- Defined here
Apparently the "---------" marker I left here was translated to a horizontal rule level one header.
There should be a horizontal rule directly below this line, and
there should be a horizontal rule (the same one) directly above this line.
Apparently the "==========" marker I left here was translated to a horizontal rule. And where are these H1 headers coming from? I certainly did not ask for them!
OK, that's probably enough nonsense for now.
Conclusion
Markdown is very annoying! Gemtext is elegantly simple, but doesn't actually work here except where it matches markdown. If I need something more than Gemtext offers I'll certainly NOT choose markdown since I learned HTML well before markdown in it various inconsistent flavors became available.
Output to HTML and gopher is useful, but I really want Gemtext to be the primary output.
This may be my last "feel" or blog entry or whatever using the TTBP tool.
