More about these tools

Both kinds are here, one subject to a page, every piece drawn for this site and sorted by height from a single line up. Tap a piece and all of it is copied, line breaks included. Whether it arrives looking like a cat comes down to two things. It wants a monospaced font, where every character takes the same width, because a proportional one slides the columns apart. And it wants its spaces: left to itself a web page folds a run of spaces into one, so the pages mark the pieces drawn with no runs of spaces as Squash-proof. Every piece states its lines and columns, so you know what fits before you paste.
