I seen Plain PBM, and I love it! But it is kind of wasteful I
admit.
I also seen ASCII art, and like the way it looks, but it
does
seem rather... ASCII...
I wonder if there could be an ASCIIArt --> Image
converter.
Say... in a markdown file, you have a code block that is
surrounded
by a marker indicating that it is ASCII
graphic/diagram.
Sent though this program, it will parse each character
into a grid and convert it into an SVG diagram that is
inserted into a markdown file. Based on the type of
character and the edges it has, a string of adjacent
characters could turn into a solid clean line. Maybe a
string of characters specifying a colour would fill that
area with a colour?
In a more silly development, you could also turn it from a
formatting system, into an actual image container like
"Plain Pbm" file, but for specifically formatted ASCII art.
Use case: Prettier ASCII titles ; Prettier Diagrams
P.s. Seriously why is Markdown not an evolving standard.
:/ It seems to be frozen in time.
