Gemini clients simply display whitespace verbatim. This can lead to discrepancies between the gemtext output format and other output formats if the guidelines in the [gemtext compatibility reference guide](GEMTEXT-COMPATIBILITY-REFERENCE-GUIDE.md) are not followed. -There are plans to implement regex which "autocorrects" the whitespace between elements so that discrepancies cannot appear in the gemtext output and so that the user does not need to manually insert the correct amount of whitespace between elements. +The gemtext renderer can "autocorrect" whitespace to avoid the need to manually format it.
