the "why" section seems reasonable to me. particularly as a wiki macro. it still makes me say "ugg". making a diagram in text is like writing code in ed.

- keyist 17y agoThere are many reasons to use text for diagrams: * universally editable forever * diffable version control * can be included with source code documentation/comments * full gamut of unix tools available: you can grep for labels, do regex replace with sed, etc * automation -- anything text-based is inherently scriptable
- makmanalp 17y agoEspecially diffable version control! Better than adding an image for code documentation. Although SVGs are also decent in this regard, they'd be slightly overkill.
