IMO: There are puzzles that are too expensive to solve.
It turns out my attempt to implement a script that passes an escaped
TAB (\t) is just such a problem. I believe in excess of 50
person-hours have been collectively spent by the Hashnix community and
myself. I believe it is time to employ Ocam's Razor and 'cut' to the
chase.
My kludge solution, my little hammer, is to employ the human computer
to handle the issue. This amounts to manually editing the
'un-cooperative' by hand, as a formal step in the Hashnix Gemini
index.gmi file posting process.
This is the text post. I will edit this message after it is initially
