I have heard many other people voice their desire for inline-links and images (and complain about it lacking from Gemini's Gemtext), but — this is the first time I've seen interactive-maps come up.
Which is interesting.
On gemini-protocol and user-experience (UX).
Sad to hear another #Gemini netizen leaving. I for one like the #GeminiProtocol and am also a fan of #Gemtext. I don't mind not having inline links or other stuff. And #Gemtext is a lot less distracting than most web pages.
And there's no #tracking and a lot more #privacy with Gemini.
Today, I am announcing plans for the biggest change to Pandora's Tale Wiki since its founding: I am going to port the wiki away from MediaWiki and convert it to a git repository of text files. This conversion process may not be easy, but it is necessary. If we continue down the current path, I am going to burn out and will not be able to continue maintaining the wiki. I have described the reasons for the change in the article for Project: Texts About Pandora
https://pandorastale.wiki/wiki/Pandora%27s_Tale_Wiki:Texts_About_Pandora#Hosting_availability
(Yes, the name of the article is a pun on the pages "Texts from Pandora" and "Texts from Pandora 2".)

There are still some things I need to determine.
1) First and most significantly, I have to figure out how to convert a MediaWiki instance into a git repository. I've found several scripts which claim to do it, but they all seem to have significant drawbacks in addition to being unmaintained. I would greatly appreciate advice from computer creatures in this regard.
2) Then I have to decide on the text format: Plaintext, gemtext, or markdown? There are ups and downs to each of them, though I'm not as worried since I believe it might be possible to convert between them later.
3) Finally I have to decide on the hosting software and platform if I want anyone else to be able to read it. Gitlab, Forgejo, sourcehut, or something else?
Once I answer these questions, I am going to move Pandora's Tale Wiki to a git repository, and then I will ask Miraheze to shut down their copy of the wiki. I don't know how long this process will take, but I believe it's the only way I can continue the wiki.

rst2gemtext is a CLI tool and a #Python library to convert #reStructuredText to #Gemtext (the markup language used by #Gemini network).
This release contains mostly fixes on lists of link and tables. Supported Python versions have also been updated.

What's the best way to convert a LaTeX equation into an ASCII art image?
I tried putting the equation in a tex document and using @pandoc@fosstodon.org to convert to markdown:
pandoc -o example.md example.texBut the generated markdown file did not contain a rendered formula: it just had the TeX code.
Motivation: I want to put formula in a gemini capsule.

What's the best software for editing #GemText? I have a #Gemini capsule I'm playing with that's generated by Sutter:

It's a managed hosting environment where it's not pleasant to edit the text directly on the server, so I guess I'll write gemtext on my desktop and sync it with the server. I might as well have the prettiest editing environment possible.
I recognize that gemtext is simple so I don't need an IDE, I just want good ergonomics.
