It's kind of funny that every example the article shows is a screenshot or video. Not a single one was actual ASCII text in the HTML...

It's not trivial to display ASCII art as text in html. There's so many ways to mess it up that unless the site is dedicated to ASCII art, a simple image is really preferable.

How is that non trivial? You just need to use a monospace font and control for width

You also need to preprocess the text to deal with HTML reserved characters like <

Getting an individual piece of ASCII art to work is often possible reasonably quickly, but the more examples you want to include the more odd edge cases you find.
