If you're talking about the gemtext format, unfortunately beyond titles, list, blockquotes, preformatted texts, and links, nothing else has been standardized.

I understand the appeal of simplicity but if you ask me that's a huge step backwards compared to HTML5. No <form>, no <section>/<article... It's like markdown but with another syntax :-/
