Gemini is cool for many reasons, but it fails in being able to encode complex documents, or use semantically or visually useful structures common to many documents.
There is:
- No metadata.
- No emphasis.
- No citations.
- No way to mark up nouns like a person, or a company.
- No way to present documents with a complex heading hierarchy past level 3 (for those who argue that more is not necessary, please consider that headings are basically cognitive sub-directories. Do you want to work on a file system that only lets you go two levels below "/"?).
I'd personally favour (but not advocate for) something like a super-lightweight Docbook grammar which is standardised, and already has great tooling available for it.
