[jira] [Comment Edited] (MDEP-552) Change characters used to diplay trees to make relationships clearer

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-552?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15853196#comment-15853196 ]

----------------------------------------------------

Not sure I have permissions to move issues between projects.  Will happily create a PR once there is an issue in the relevant place.  

It seems to me that the vast majority of people will have unicode terminals these days, is there a case for enabling tokens=extended by default and for users for whom this will not work allowing them to manually specify ascii-only? I suspect that most users, like myself, are completely unaware of the tokens option (presumably why it has been broken without someone noticing until now!) and yet could benefit from it. Obviously this would be a breaking change so I guess would require a major version bump.

> NPM for example uses characters such as:
> ├── foo
> │   ├── bar
> │   └── baz
> I feel these characters make it much clearer then there is a large tree on screen what is related to what.
