table2string 1.4.2

A library to convert tables to string with full support for line breaks and formatting

table2string

Convert table to string

While there are several libraries available for converting tables to strings in Python, none seemed to meet my specific requirements.

• Line Break Support: Easily include line breaks within cells for enhanced readability.
• Emoji Integration: Effortlessly incorporate emoji characters into your tables to add visual appeal and context.

Custom width and height settings

Width	Example	Description
<width>	10	Setting width (10) for the whole table
(<width>,)	(10,)	Setting width_1 (10) for all column
(<width_1>, <width_2>)	(10, 20)	Setting width_1 (10) for the first column and width_2 (20) for all other columns
(<width_1>, <width_2>, <width_3>)	(10, 20, 30)	Setting width_1 (10) for the first column and width_2 (20) for the second and width_3 (30) for the third column

Text alignment

Align	Example	Description
"<align>" or ("<align>",)	"^" or ("^",)	Setting align ("^") for all columns
("<align_1>", "<align_2>")	("^", "<")	Setting align_1 ("^") for the first column and align_2 ("<") for all other columns
("<align_1>", "<align_2>", "<align_3>")	("^", "<", ">")	Setting align_1 ("^") for the first column and align_2 ("<") for the second and align_3 (">") for the third column

ALLOWED_ALIGNS

Align	Description
* or **	Alignment depends on the type. If this is a number and there are no line breaks in this cell, then align to the right; otherwise, align to the left.
< or <<	All lines are left aligned
^ or ^^	All lines are center aligned
> or >>	All lines are right aligned
<^	The first line is left aligned and the remaining lines are centered
<>	The first line is left aligned and the remaining lines are right aligned
^<	The first line is aligned to the center, and the remaining lines are aligned to the left of the first line.
^>	The first line is aligned to the center, and the remaining lines are aligned to the right of the first line.
><	The first line is right aligned and the remaining lines are left aligned
>^	The first line is right aligned and the remaining lines are centered
