Character Graphics

If you want to include simple line drawings, use the character graphics tag (:cgraphic.) and its corresponding end tag (:ecgraphic.). Text within this tag is displayed in a monospace font. To change the monospace font, use :font. within :cgraphic.. For more information about :font., see Changing Fonts. If text does not fit within the boundaries of a window, it is clipped, not wrapped.

Place the tags before and after the character graphic, as shown in the following example.
