what you are describing is called an 'in-line link' and is intentionally not allowed.

while it's not allowed, you can use other techniques like footnotes. Maybe an emoji✳ and put a link at the bottom?

Smokey, and everyone, I wonder why is that not allowed intentionally. I am ok with that, just interesting what is the reason.

@norayr to put it simply, it is to reduce formatting complexity. gemtext is designed for a balance between power and simplicity. in line links are but one of many cuts made to increase simplicity by making links be in their own line. it can also be argued this makes authors more carefully consider how they place links.

how to have a link to other page and following text on the same line, but the following text should not be a link, only the first part of it. if i use the arrow with two characters, equality sign and more sign, then everything after it becomes a link. i use enter to write the contituation on the other line and have only the link on the separate line. this breaks text in a way i feel is unnatural. is there a way to have a link and the text on the same line? i feel a bit stupid to ask this,...
