This is one trick that I sometime use in vi (or vim).

You can filter lines through other commands with the ! command.
For example, say I have this typed on a line:

Warning!

If I use the ! command in vi with the cursor on this line:

!figlet -c

Then this is the result:
                  __        __               _             _ 
                  \ \      / /_ _ _ __ _ __ (_)_ __   __ _| |
                   \ \ /\ / / _` | '__| '_ \| | '_ \ / _` | |
                    \ V  V / (_| | |  | | | | | | | | (_| |_|
