I'm looking for a (small) Batman Sign 
(... for a signature ...)

Who can help me?

Thanx.

i made this one a while ago:



    ,'__)(__',
   (   ,  ,   )
    ';  \/  ;'


i don't know if outlook express will make it look right, so here it is with
some characters in front:


|
|    ,'__)(__',
|   (   ,  ,   )
|    ';  \/  ;'
|

~jason
p.s. tell me if my sig is screwed up.  outlook expre$$ is a piece of
micro$oft crap.

Outlook Express follows the convention (At least, I assume it's a
convention, because I've heard it discussed for other programs) that if a
line is only indented one space, it's not worth indenting.

So your .sig is ok because it's all against the left margin and your other
pictures are ok because they have whitespace in front.

(Unfortunately, most of the other artists around here often don't indent
their art by at least two spaces :\ )

Erk.

Okay, just a little clarification... I didn't mean "indention of ascii art,"
I meant "indention of preformatted text in general...".

A word processor (or other text editor/displayer) might choose to be
conscientious, and not show spaces as the first character on a line.  Why?
Mainly (I think) because the designers might consider prespaced text
"choppy," or perhaps they are considering what will happen to the text when
the window (if such is used) is resized.  When two spaces are given, it
shows the text reader/editor that

  1) The spacing is either an intentional indent (i.e., new paragraph, ...)
or
  2) Preformatted text, (i.e., diagrams, ascii-art, ...)

I seem to remember experiencing this before the days of Outlook Express, but
I can't remember exactly when (I *have* had a computer since I was five [or
so], and all.. that's a long time)...

	convention?! what convention? I've been around here much before  outlook
express and I've never seen nothing about convention on how to ident ascii art.
Oh! I forgot ... mr gates wants to help us think the  right way, isn't it?
Crap ... I think I'll start identing my sigs exactly one  space ... or maybe
just on some lines. I still would  like to know how did they come up with
this brilliant ideia!!

This is news to me...  I had no idea that OE took such
liberties...  Are you suggesting that us people who make
the ASCII art ought to indent each line by at least two
spaces?  I don't like to have pics riding the left margin...
I've always tried to indent them at least one space... I
guess I could make an effort and get them in two...
(or all you folks with OE can drop it)  ;)

What works well is just putting a line of periods or pipes... or just
making a box around it...

I don't care about OE. Works fine for me.

Mmmm... Touching. Supposedly it's not the only program that does that.
