- D2 (0.7.1) introduces ASCII outputs for files with .txt extension.
- ASCII diagrams are useful in source code comments for clarity.
- Vim extension allows replacing selections with ASCII-rendered diagrams.
- Unicode is the default character set; true ASCII can be specified with --ascii-mode=standard.
- ASCII renderer is in alpha stage with known limitations and bugs.
- No styles, themes, or certain features like animations are supported.
- Uneven spacing may occur due to discrete coordinate space in ASCII.
- Available for testing in the D2 Playground.
