translation rules
- "thematic breaks" (hr tags) are translated to
-----
on a line by itself - headings turn into headings, levels beyond 3 get capped at 3
- code blocks get turned into code blocks (info strings are discarded)
- something happens to HTML, i forget what
- paragraphs get empty lines between them, because i think that looks better
- block quotes get turned into quotes
- lists get turned into lists ("loose lists" probably misbehave, nested lists definitely misbehave, numbering is not preserved)
`markdown code spans`
turn into`code spans`
*markdown italics*
turn into_italics_
**markdown bold**

a [link](a://url) with context
turns intoa link with context
followed by=> a://url link
an ![inline](a://url) image
turns intoan [image: inline] image

- if a link or image is its own paragraph, it becomes just the gemtext link, to not be redundant
