an easy solution would be to use colspan, rowspan and vertical-align

a different (probably not suggested) option is to use symbols to make the connections 1111111 ┐                                      ┌ 5555555         ├ 1111111 ┐                   ┌ 6666666 ┤     2222222 ┘         │                   │         └ 6666666                   ├ 1111111 ┬ 7777777 ┤          3333333 ┐         │         │         │         ┌ 7777777         ├ 4444444 ┘    ┌────┴────┐    └ 7777777 ┤ 4444444 ┘              │ 7777777 │              └ 8888888                        └─────────┘

you can also make an image and float the names over it
