+# Gemini Vim Syntax
+
+This repo contains basic syntax highlighting for the [Gemini protocol](https://gemini.circumlunar.space/)'s *text/gemini* format.
+
+## How to install
+
+```
+git clone https://tildegit.org/sloum/gemini-vim-syntax
+cd gemini-vim-syntax
+make
+```
+
+That should get you up and running. Note that this installs the files for your user, not globally for the system. It should support Linux, Unix/BSD/Darwin, Windows, and Haiku out of the box.
+
+## What is supported
+
+The current state of the syntax covers all items officially supported by the [gemini spec](https://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/spec-spec.txt):
+
+- Links get colored in three parts:
+    - =>
+    - URL
+    - Link text
+- Headings
+    - Up to three levels
+    - Lines that start with one, two, or three _\#_ characters
+- List items
+    - Lines that start with _*_
+- Preformatted text blocks 
+    - Handled as a range that starts and ends with _\`\`\`_
+
+I plan to update the syntax when and if the spec adds more items to *text/gemini*.
+
+## Unexpected
+
+It is possible that Windows users may find that the syntax does not work. I do not have a machine to test it on and would love some feedback. If it is not working it likely has to do with line endings. Windows uses \<cairrage-return\><\<line-feed\> and linux/unix use just \<line-feed\>. There are a number of ways to solve this problem ranging from just replacing the newlines manually to using software. In either case it shouldn't be too difficult.
