What needs to understand CSS and HTML is the "viewer", the client. As
gopher itself just transfers files, menus, data, there should be no
problem.

I suppose (e.g.) Firefox will do it, as it is a HTML+CSS+JavaScript
webbrowser which also supports gopher. IIRC, you just need to use full
URLs (relative won't work, as there is no such thing as a RFC path
separator).

That has been possible for a while, but the sad thing is really that
webmasters and webmaster-wannabes don't know that.
