Copy and paste the ASCII into the HTML document, then put <PRE> on the line
 before the pic, and </PRE> at the end of it (or at the end of a list of
 pictures). Doing this will make the ASCII viewable as a regular ASCII picture.

Also, you can change the size of the ASCII pics on the page by putting this at
 the beginning of the ASCII <FONT SIZE=1> where font size is 1 to 6. then put a
 </FONT> at the end of the pics along with the </PRE>
.

Personally, I have found that using <pre> flag before and </pre> flag
after works fine,  but I have also found that I need to make sure to use
<left> alignment before I use the <pre> flag.

Most browsers need you to convert all the ">"s and "<"s and "&"s to
escape-codes, too:

 ">"   ->   &gt;   [greater than]
 "<"   ->   &lt;   [less than]
 "&"   ->   &amp;  [ampersand]

And because anchor-tags (<A HREF="">) in PRE regions are recognized, you
can make different regions of the ascii-image into hyperlinks.  See:

<URL:http://www.mcs.net/~jorn/html/finder/finder.html>

for some clickable/live ascii maps.

Also, if you leave blank lines at the beginning and end of a PRE region,
they'll provide extra spacing-- some browsers don't automatically skip a
line before and after PRE, so they'll look squashed if you don't do it
yourself.
