okay bestie, welcome to the banner manual page, it's giving "i make big letters and i do it well" 👑

✨ NAME ✨

banner — print large banner 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

banner text [text [...]]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea: banner prints out the first 10 characters of text in large letters. that's it, that's the whole job, and honestly? it ate. 💅

and if you pass multiple text arguments, they get output on multiple large lines. one big line per argument, no cap. 🌈

💀 LIMITATIONS 💀

okay this is the part where we get real, bestie. 😭

the character set you can use in text is limited to ASCII. anything else? it gets rendered as whitespace. so don't come in here with your fancy unicode, it's literally just gonna be a lil blank space where your dreams used to be. 🙈
