I guess I don't understand what's being suggested, because this comment makes no sense to me. I have a large and complex DiGraph ... are you suggesting there's a simple way of laying it out using plain text?

Here's an example of another chart produced by my system:

How would you produce that with newlines and tabs? If you're suggesting the usual linear/indented version that existing social media systems use, that's exactly what I'm trying to get away from, so I can properly visualise the entire tree, seeing descendants as descendants, and not as a comment a long way down the page.

Maybe I'm just not understanding what you're suggesting.
