ascii art in org mode buffer

ascii art in org mode buffer

[J. David Boyd]

I've been IRCing with someone that is trying to do ASCII art in an ORG mode
buffer, and the mode keeps turning his line drawing into tables. (Of course).

He was wondering if there is anyway to mark off a section of an org-mode file
so that it is left alone, and not processed as part of an org file.

I don't see anything like that in the docs.  Any ideas?

This is what "fixed-width" sections are fore, they not only don't
become tables, but they also ensure that export to html will use a 
fixed-with font, so that the drawing is preserved.

Each line of a fixed-width section starts with a colon, like

:  |\   |
:  | \  |
:  |  \ |
:  |   \|
