Man - this is my fkn brand.

Plain text is almost a universal truth -- and it's easy to church up your documentation with a well presented ASCII chart.

Some ANSI Color Codes and ASCIInema can carry you a long way.

Here's a list of plain text information tools from my notes:

ascii-tables is exactly what is says on the label.

  https://www.netpen.io/main/
  https://github.com/ebirger/netpen/

svgbob and svg-term are both great for creating SVGs out of these plain text files:

Here are some TUI/CLI focused frameworks. These are over kill for me - but maybe useful to someone here:

TUI/Text-Based presentaion tools:
