I frequently get asked how to do ascii-art for the web (beyond dumping actual ansi strings in console.log(), which works in some browsers), but the work for this is significant, and I've never been sold on a pure JS approach in the browser, unless you have a hefty framework backing you up. But recently WebComponents support has finally closed the gap enabling a simple solution for anyone using a browser.
So go right here, test it out and file bugs/ask questions.
