== Link art == | |||
Art that uses URL and coordinate links to create green and blue text. Drawings like these are mostly obsolete in OWOT, but see some use in the monochrome [[Your World of Text]]. | |||
Link art briefly became popular during the [[2025 color ban]], which temporarily disabled text colors on the [[/|front page]] and forced users to come up with alternative methods of rendering color. Link art was one form of this, colored emojis were the other.<gallery mode="packed" widths="300" heights="200"> | |||

== Art on TextWall == | |||
{{main|TextWall}} | |||
TextWall renders certain unicode/SLC symbols differently from OWOT, resulting in visible gaps between characters in ANSI/SLC art. | |||
Art from TextWall can be ported to OWOT using [https://2s4.me/private/owot-tw-convert.html OWOT-TW Conversion]. But a good portion of OWOT art aren't compatible with TextWall due to the latter canvas' lack of support for customizable cell colors.<gallery mode="packed" heights="150"> | |||
