Markdown and chat
Wrap multi-line art in three backticks. Use ordinary spaces, never tabs, and preview at the actual destination width.
Accessibility
Keep the meaningful title and description in normal text. Treat long punctuation blocks as decoration unless the art itself carries essential information.
Export decision
Use text for editability, searchability and terminal use. Use PNG when the platform controls the font, color or line wrapping.
