Lesson 6 – my ASCII drawing collapsed when it posted!What happened?
Remember, the first backtick “turns on” fixed-width formatting, the next backtick turns it off, etc.
If your art has backticks embedded in it, it will in all likelihood “mess up” the way it appears once you post it.
What to do:
a) if the art is your own, don’t embed backticks.
b) if you are cut-and-pasting, first paste your art into notepad, “replace all” backticks with apostrophes, then cut-and-paste the resulting art into the post.
Your “Porsche” has embedded backticks.
