SBD

Making your text block diagrams better.. a little bit.

What is this?

sbd is a way to translate block diagrams.. commonly done in text format with dashes and angle brackets and pipes into something that doesn't read as awfully.

What does it look like?

```txt //Before

   ---------- HDMI ----> BENQ 24"   
   |---------- DP  ----> Dell 24"
   |---------- DP  ----> BENQ 27"
   |

Desktop-----USB-C-----> USB-C Extension ---USB-C---> USB-C to 4x USB-A (3.0) hub ---- USB-A ---> Mouse Laptop-----------USB-C---------------------------------| |--- USB-A ---> Keeb | |--- USB-A ---> Yubi | ---- USB-A ---> Mic

Limitations

• Probably isn't that fast
• Definitely uses more memory than it needs to
• Doesn't support anything to wacky or things I haven't used really. If you want more added ask away

FAQ

• My 50MB diagram takes too long to go through SBD

  • If you're making 50MB diagrams in crappy text format you have other problems

• This uses more RAM than it needs to

  • Sure does!
