Svgbob – convert ASCII diagrams to SVG, now with styling support

I recently wrote an editor for this:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mbarkhau.keybase.pub&#x2F;asciigrid&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mbarkhau.keybase.pub&#x2F;asciigrid&#x2F;</a>

Try this<p>_______<p>&lt; Meow &gt;<p>-------<p><pre><code> \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\&#x2F;\ ||----w | || ||</code></pre>

This is cool, except the alignment is wrong in almost all diagrams. Labels are off center, things overlap, etc. If that were fixed, it would be very nice and usable.

Also check out Markdeep, which provides this (and a whole lot more) via JS: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;casual-effects.com&#x2F;markdeep&#x2F;#features" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;casual-effects.com&#x2F;markdeep&#x2F;#features</a>

What a great idea! I have been using a text to UML sequence diagram tool and this seems to be very much along the same lines.

Nice. I&#x27;d like the other direction. SVG -&gt; ASCII

That seems pretty great, but I always have the problem of creating the ASCII art in the first place. Is there a tool to help with that?

Sometimes works with <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.asciiart.eu" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.asciiart.eu</a><p>For example: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.asciiart.eu&#x2F;cartoons&#x2F;felix-the-cat" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.asciiart.eu&#x2F;cartoons&#x2F;felix-the-cat</a>

Seriously, that is very cool! I wonder how PlantUML diagrams would look in Svgbob or Markdeep, if they were imported from text.

Nice ! Now I just need to be able to have org mode source blocks for that .

This is pretty impressive. Are there builds for a cli?
