I’m trying to add an ascii diagram to a @moduledoc, but when I generate the docs using ex_docs’s mix docs, the output doesn’t look well because of the non-monospace font it’s using.
Is there any way I can tell the docs to use a monospace font here?

Thanks, you definitely pointed me in the right direction. For anyone interested, I found this link very useful: https://medium.com/@takanori.ishikawa/customize-how-your-exdoc-documentation-looks-a10234dbb4c9

You could use the
:assetsconfig option to provide your own CSS and use the:before_closing_head_tagto call that CSS into your docs.See mix docs — ExDoc v0.40.3
Alternatively, as docs are rendered using markdown, you should be able to output a code block by indenting your diagram with four spaces.
