ditaa ASCII art filter/parser (default or optional template/plugin) #157

Closed hedgehog closed 13 years ago

Not sure if this is readily do-able or if it fit yard's roadmap... it would seem useful to have the ability to insert ascii art into comments and have it nicely rendered

Very nice looking library. It's probably not something that would fit into yard's core codebase, but have you considered writing a plugin? You could leverage the "syntax highlighting" API to convert indented blocks of ascii data into graphs in the form:
