At other forums, I often use the code tag to draw "ascii art", with a proportional font such as Arial or Helvetica, this is simply impossible.
Framed simple christmas tree:
- Code: Select all

Actually, I don't use it for ascii-art, but I find it useful to make tables and simple diagrams this way, so I don't have to fire up a heavy image program just to draw a simple image.
