ASCII art in function documentation?

Untested, but did you try wrapping the whole thing in a single code block:

Nope - also in one line.

\code{
all
the
things
}

Hi

I want to include ascii art in a function documentation which should
look as follow:

,----
| +------+------+------+
| | 1/16 | 1/16 | 1/16 |
| +------+------+------+
| | 1/16 | 8/16 | 1/16 |
| +------+------+------+
| | 1/16 | 1/16 | 1/16 |
| +------+------+------+
`----


to keep the monospaced font even in html, I decided to use \code{}:

,----
| \code{+------+------+------+}
|
| \code{| 1/16 | 1/16 | 1/16 |}
|
| \code{+------+------+------+}
|
| \code{| 1/16 | 8/16 | 1/16 |}
|
| \code{+------+------+------+}
|
| \code{| 1/16 | 1/16 | 1/16 |}
|
| \code{+------+------+------+}
`----

But the result was an empty line between each text:

,----
|      '+------+------+------+'
|
|      '| 1/16 | 1/16 | 1/16 |'
|
|      '+------+------+------+'
|
|      '| 1/16 | 8/16 | 1/16 |'
|
|      '+------+------+------+'
|
|      '| 1/16 | 1/16 | 1/16 |'
|
|      '+------+------+------+'
`----

and when no empty lines were included obviously put everything behind
each other.

My question:

Is there a way that I can achieve the ASCII art as shown above? Is there
a way of having a \linebreak which does not insert a new line?

Thanks,

Rainer
