if i do

let example = gemtext::Node::Text("#1 fav food: chocolate".to_string());
let mut result = Vec::<u8>::new();
gemtext::render(vec![example], &mut result).unwrap();
let result = String::from_utf8(result).unwrap();
let parsed = gemtext::parse(&result);
let not_what_i_asked_for = gemtext::Node::Heading {
    level: 1,
    body: "1 fav food: chocolate".to_string(),
};
assert_ne!(parsed[0], not_what_i_asked_for);

it fails. which is understandable, but counterintuitive.

in order to ensure nodes that are declared as text get rendered as text, i think it'd make sense to render text nodes that start with special characters by automatically prepending a space when needed. i asked on the irc and everybody said this was the way to do it.
