Right-alignment

Open alex-ozdemir opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

Hey there!

What do you think of having an option to right-align the text within a cell? This is nice when it comes to viewing numbers, since it aligns digits of the same place.

I imagine this would require the API of the elastic tabstops package to be expanded.

I'm happy to do this myself, I just wanted to check in and see whether you'd support it first.

Cheers, Alex

In theory, yes. We can leave this issue open, but it would be good to spec out an API on the tabwriter project first. This may be a bit hairy to implement, but I'm definitely open to adding more options to tabwriter.

tabwriter was inspired by Go's package by the same name, which does indeed support right alignment.
