With the now available Mermaid support in Github Markdown, this is probably not necessary from initial intention, however it would still be sometimes useful if one wants to include diagrams directly in the code comments (or is this a rare use case?)

I would love a way to convert mermaid to ascii for use in IETF RFCs.

If you can't live without it, ChatGPT can create somewhat good enough head start which you can edit yourself - it is really bad at counting characters, so you'll have to add the right amount of spaces yourself:

I tried like 5 extra prompts to convince it to fix it and nothing was perfect.

Also looking for this feature for the CLI output

This would be nice and we can move on from asciiflow 😄

yeah. One of the cases for this: IETF RFCs are still rendered as plain texts. So even if you want to use some up-to-date awesome tool for diagrams, you still need to convert them to the ASCII representation. If you can not do it automatically — then the only option is just not to use cool tools at all ((( And create diagrams from the beginning by hand is asciiflow for example.
