Support for multi-line ASCII art?

[ignat980]

Say I have an ascii art I want to be able to easily share, like this "fabulous" dude:
⊂_ヽ
　 ＼＼ ＿

　　　 <　⌒ヽ F
　　　/ 　 へ＼ A
　　 /　　/　＼＼ B
　　 ﾚ　ノ　　 ヽ_つ U
　　/　/ L
　 /　/| O
　(　(ヽ U
　|　|、＼S
　| 丿 ＼ ⌒)
　| |　　) /
`ノ )　 Lﾉ
(_／

Currently if I post this into the settings, it strips all the newlines. Would it be possible save them? I think the change should be very simple, it might be just a UI issue as far as I know.

Hi @ignat980,

I already thought about multiline support, but I fear this could cause some trouble - different font faces could insert letters, spaces and tabs of different width, which would mess up the ASCII art. So I went for one-liners as I thought they were the safest bet. What are your thoughts or experiences? Have you tried pasting your fabulous dude on different pages, and did it look good?

Yea. It actually uses a specific type of white space character that remains the same width no matter where you post it, called an ideographic space. Also, the main use-cases of multiline ascii art (at least where I would use it) is YouTube and Twitch, yet also possibly in chat services like Skype, Discord, and Omegle, so early support could only test against those sites. People who make ascii art with plain spaces and tabs obviously don't know the horrors of having their spaces stripped, but I've encountered that problem many times before and know how to do it correctly now.
