What is ASCII art text?
It's large lettering drawn out of small characters — popular for README banners, terminal output and code headers.
How do I use it in a README or code comment?
Copy the output and paste it into your file; wrap code comments around it if needed.
Why does it look misaligned when I paste it?
ASCII art only lines up in a monospace font — view it somewhere that uses a fixed-width font.
Can I choose different styles?
Yes — pick from several FIGlet fonts like Standard, Big, Slant and Block.
Is my text uploaded?
No — the banner is rendered locally in your browser with the open-source figlet library.
