How about replacing HTML with Markdown?

Markdown is simpler than HTML, but has more to offer than Gemini. You could have tables, images and depending on the flavor also checkboxes. Client side styling would also be easily possible. And if you want a simple browser, you don't even have to parse it and simply show the plain text.

You do not have to be a programmer to write Markdown and many writers already write in Markdown and then convert to HTML.
