Category for tools that create images with text. ASCII art, ANSI art, etc. Often it's called by one of those more specific terms, especially 'ASCII Art', sometimes text art or textmode art.
Accessibility
Text art can obviously be a mess for screenreaders to interpret. Here're some tips to make it more accessible if you're using HTML:
- If it's just decorative, you can add
aria-hidden="true"to the<pre>element, which will hide it. - If you're using text art to represent text you can add
aria-label="[text]"to tell the screenreader what the text says. - If it's an image you can use
role="img"to tell the screenreader. - If your drawing's inside a
<figure>you can use thearia-labelledby="[id]"oraria-describedby="[id]"attributes to point to the id on an element that has a description, for example a<figcaption>
