: If you really want to do a large [[Sierpinski triangle]], do it as an image (no more than 800 pixels wide?) and use that. The code to do that instead of an ASCII version can be seen as an Extra Credit item, and it has the advantage of keeping the page much smaller. –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 09:36, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by as ASCII version. Are you referring to ASCII-7 bit? I often use extended ASCII (8 bits), code page 437, as that's the code page that the DOS prompt window uses (as well as the old DOS systems pre-Windows) --- at least, in the USA. I re-wrote the REXX program to use the ASCII-7 characters as a default, with support for the user to specify full ASCII-8 character codes.
 
I still haven't found out how to create another (separate) page to hold larger examples. I also have to learn how to link them. [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]]
