# Welcome to the Gemtext Showcase
## Highlighting the Simplicity of the Gemini Protocol

This is a standard text line. In Gemtext, lines of text wrap according to the client's settings. There is no bold, italics, or inline whisperingjust clean, readable prose.

### 1. Structural Headings
As seen above, Gemtext supports three levels of headings:
# Level 1 (Top level)
## Level 2 (Sub-heading)
### Level 3 (Sub-sub-heading)

### 2. The Link Line
Links are the core of the "Gemini space." Unlike HTML, links must reside on their own line. They can point to other .gmi files, external web URLs, or different protocols.

=> gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/  The Gemini Project Home
=> https://google.com  An external HTTPS link
=> /projects/hardware.gmi  A relative path to a local file

### 3. List Items
Lists are simple and unordered. Use a single asterisk followed by a space.

* Low-power computing
* Digital sovereignty
* Privacy-focused networking
* Hydroponic automation

### 4. Blockquotes
For citing other users or highlighting important notes, use the "greater than" sign.

> Gemtext is intended to be easy to parse and easy to read, even in a terminal-based browser. It stays out of the way of the content.

### 5. Preformatted Text (Alt-Text & Code)
To display code, ASCII art, or tables, use "triple backticks." You can optionally add "alt-text" after the first set of backticks for screen readers or clients that don't render preformatted blocks.

```Python Script Example
def sitrep():
    print("System Status: Nominal")
    print("Power: 12.6V")

sitrep()
