Description

I have four nodes arranged in a square like so:

 .---.   .---.
| CTR +-+ WBK |
 '-+-'   '-+-'
   |       |
 .-+-.   .-+-.
| HWD +-+ SDO |
 '---'   '---'

I'd like to diagonally connect the HWD and WBK nodes from their nearest corners, but haven't found a good solution. Most come out mishapen or connect the sides of the nodes rather than their corners. Any ideas? The horizontal and vertical space between nodes can be increased if that makes it any easier.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the codebase for how horizontal and vertical lines are drawn (likely using box drawing characters or paths) and extend to support diagonal lines by adding new SVG path commands or using appropriate Unicode characters like ╱ or ╲.
