You can hand edit the rest of it. I just drew the first two lines while recording in a macro and repeated it. Below is the recorded macro: -+ ;; self-insert-command * 2 3*---+ ;; self-insert-command * 4 NUL ;; set-mark-command C-a ;; beginning-of-line ESC w ;; kill-ring-save C-e ;; end-of-line 6*SPC ;; self-insert-command C-y ;; yank C-a ;; beginning-of-line C-n ;; next-line 2*SPC ;; self-insert-command C-b ;; backward-char | ;; self-insert-command 3*SPC ;; self-insert-command | ;; self-insert-command 3*SPC ;; self-insert-command | ;; self-insert-command 3*SPC ;; self-insert-command C-a ;; beginning-of-line C-k ;; kill-line C-y ;; yank 7*SPC ;; self-insert-command C-y ;; yank C-a ;; beginning-of-line 12*C-f ;; forward-char C-d ;; delete-char C-a ;; beginning-of-line C-n ;; next-line >From there I just ran the macro a few times. You don't need to ever see the macro when doing this but you can and you can edit it manually if you want. But based the examples you have provided I would recomend a two prong attack. Create the root ascii in something like Jave (which someone posted a link to earlier) and then use an ascii friendly editor like emacs or (el)vi(m|s). > +-----------------------------------+ ...
