### Why is this important?
ASCII art cannot be read out by assistive technologies.
Providing a text alternative makes the information available in a non-visual format.
A link to skip the ASCII art saves users from having to read through large quantities of seemingly nonsense characters.

### What to do
* If this element is not ASCII art but meaningful text, no action is needed
* **Or**, if this is ASCII art, verify there is a text alternative immediately before or after it. A link to skip the ASCII art is also recommended
