# figlet
> Generate ASCII banners from user input.
> See also: `showfigfonts`.
> More information: <https://www.figlet.org/figlet-man.html>.
- Generate by directly inputting text:
`figlet {{input_text}}`
- Use a custom [f]ont file:
`figlet -f {{path/to/font_file.flf}} {{input_text}}`
- Use a [f]ont from the default font directory (the extension can be omitted):
`figlet -f {{font_filename}} {{input_text}}`
- Pipe command output through FIGlet:
`{{command}} | figlet`
- Show available FIGlet fonts:
`showfigfonts {{optional_string_to_display}}`
- Use the full width of the [t]erminal and [c]enter the input text:
`figlet -t -c {{input_text}}`
- Display all characters at full [W]idth to avoid overlapping:
`figlet -W {{input_text}}`
