ASCII ART FAQ
by Jorn Barger
Purpose: to promote more creative use of the ASCII character set on
Internet, especially for _page layout_ and _animation_, and the
development and distribution of tools to facilitate this.
Justification: Ascii art will continue to be the appropriate,
populist technology for graphics on Internet, for some years to
come... so we might as well get good at it! (There's still lots of
untapped potential...)
There's such a range of newsreading environments, that few of the
ideas offered here will work the same for everyone. If we want to do
this right, we need to get a sense of where these differences are
most serious. (White-on-black displays vs b-on-w, for one...)
