Would that suffice?

Sorry, I had to change the commit message after pushing; I figured the initial message was a bit too open-ended.

I tested this out and noticed that the ASCII dashboard now is horizontally aligned to that the start of the banner is at the center, whereas before it was that the center of the of the banner was at the center.

Apparently insert moves the point to the end of the appended text (unlike insert-file-contents, which does not manipulate the point). To ensure that insert-file-contents and insert have the same point behavior, insert must be wrapped in a save-excursion block.
With (save-excursion (insert txt)), the issue is solved:

Not sure I follow @6b6279 (I'm not great with elisp). I tried adding (save-excursion (insert txt)) in the :config section of my use-package and it says the txt symbol's value as variable is void.

I was talking about the insert call in the dashboard-insert-banner function. See the pull request that was just merged (#440).

Gotcha, thanks!

@6b6279 Forgot to mention, would you like to open a PR for documentation?

@jcs090218 Documentation? You mean like a short snippet in the README file on how to use the ASCII banner setting?
