But not everybody has that kind of display...
...you can't complain about html postings and then post in ansi...I think
ascii is more universal. The user just has to view it in a fixed width font
such as Courier. This version should work on any terminal:

                          |
+12V----------------------|--------*---------
                 +--------*        |
                 C        C        L1
In----R1-------B-Q1   +-B-Q2       |
                 E    |   E        |
                 |    +---|---*-R4-*---------Out
                 R2       R3  +-C1-+
                 |        |
