> [!tldr] You can use [[ASCII Art]] to make diagrams
In the realm of my [[Markdown Graphics Anxiety]] I probably should have included [[ASCII Art]] as a valid option (it does now, but it didn't used to).
[[Other Bloggers|Sébastien Dubois]]'[s notes ](https://notes.dsebastien.net/50+Resources/55+Obsidian+Publish/README)use ASCII Art for diagrams. I liked it and it spawned this note.
When embedding into [[Obsidian]], you should use a code fence. I specify the code language as `ascii-art` as an [[Affordances|affordance]] to make it a bit clearer that it's meant to be viewed as an image, rather than parsed as literal text.
```ascii-art
