Gemtext documents should have the extension `.gmi` or `.gemini`. Mixed case can be used, but if you are on a case sensitive filesystem (ext4, etc) you should not have 2 files with the same name and different cases (i.e. 'hello-world.gmi' and 'HELLO-WORLD.gmi') +Filenames should use '-' to replace spaces, and should have no special characters. Gemtext documents should have the extension `.gmi` or `.gemini`. Mixed case can be used, but if you are on a case sensitive filesystem (ext4, etc) you should not have 2 files with the same name and different cases (e.g. 'hello-world.gmi' and 'HELLO-WORLD.gmi') ### Why This follows the convention for the web and ensures compatibility with most filesystems. Dashes are preferred to underscores as a separator because underscores can be hidden by an underline if a client underlines links.
