The converted Gemini document should exist inside the `<body>`. Consider if sharing the page with other HTML to put the core document inside `<main>`. [Each Gemini line-type](https://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/specification.html#5-3-line-orientation) may be translated using the following guide:

`<a>` tags are categorized as inline which CSS [Normal Flow](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS/CSS_layout/Normal_Flow) presents vertically—Gemini only deals with horizontally flowing content, this can be addressed by using [`display: block;` at the CSS level.](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Flow_Layout/Block_and_Inline_Layout_in_Normal_Flow#changing_the_formatting_context_an_element_participates_in)

If a link is consumable by `<img>`, `<audio>` or `<video>` you may insert the respective tag inline, instead of an `<a>`. It's a good idea to also include the `controls` property.

These are categorized as inline just like `<a>` and will need `display: block;` styling. Images and video should also have `max-width: 100%;` so they don't overflow the body.

When producing a complete and valid HTML5 document the first declaration is the required `<!DOCTYPE html>`. At the root of a document is the `<html>` tag which should have a [`lang` attribute which declares the overall language of the page](https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-html-language-declarations) and if necessary should also include `dir="rtl"`.

# gmi.css
custom CSS guide
2021-02-19 18:52:37 +00:00
[core.css](./core.css) is a maximally miniminal stylesheet that overrides the default CSS [Normal Flow](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS/CSS_layout/Normal_Flow) to render content horizontally in a Gemini way. [gmi.css](./gmi.css) extends upon that slightly with font and color options. The default values are optimized for readability and mobile-friendliness and may be customized by adding a style property to `<html>`.

2021-02-19 00:17:46 +00:00
```html
<head>
<!-- assuming you wanna host a copy and link to it... -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="gmi.css" />
<meta name="color-scheme" content="dark light" />
<!-- ... -->
</head>
<html style="--foreground:#555555; --background:#9EEBCF;">
<!-- ... -->
</html>
```
The `--foreground` and `--background` variables will be inverted when
[prefers-color-scheme](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-color-scheme) is "dark".

## custom css
It is possible to use your own set of completely custom CSS rules by pointing to a .css file containing them.
```sh
gmi-web --body --css custom.css < doc.gmi
```
gmi-web auto-detects the need for the `<meta>` color-schemes and allows for using `--inline` to insert the declarations as `style` properties on their respective blocks.
[core.css](./core.css) is a good starting point!
