Tables #216

Closed tomveich closed 1 year ago

tomveich commented 2 years ago

Hello, this is not really an issue, I just wanted to ask how were the tables in the official specification generated.

Thank you

It's build using characters from the Extended ASCII set.

In the Olden Days it's how we build text-mode UI. Any dinosaurs here remember TheDRAW?

Today we can use tools like ASCIIFlow to spice up our README, PDF or such.

i've had this notification sitting in my email for over a month now and wonder what in the blazes it could be about. just now reading/clearing stuff... XD for the brief time i was playing with batch files, i learned about these extended ascii chars, myself. thought that was pretty neat!

also, might have to check that site out, myself!
