I have stopped trying to predict this forum, for example, about spaces maintained in front of any visible glyph.
Otherwise, have a short look at this site:
https://www.textfacescopy.com/ascii-art.html
How many text-picture blocks can you see straight away which look like "fish salad"? And when it's selected, copied and then pasted into a text editor with monospaced font, the user gets the same exact thing which is depressing. It's not so with the pictures that begin lines with underscore, or were made up of the fuzzy bricks.
A site like that cannot be displayed properly with Lynx web browser because each picture needs to be listed line by line on its own. Not in graphic containers. Also always include spaces instead of tabs because cannot always assume a tab is eight spaces long. I don't know whose idea was it to present the ASCII art in that way -- old clashes with new, I guess.
