The table ```tbl``` is represented as a list of rows where each row is
|
||||
a list of cells that hold arbitrary values that are converted to
|
||||
string when rendering the table.
|
||||
|
||||
Before rendering the table, the following steps are performed:
|
||||
|
||||
* The table is made rectangular - that is all rows are extended by
|
||||
empty strings to have the same length.
|
||||
* All non-string cells are converted to string using ```sprintf```
|
||||
* All cells are split into list of strings representing the lines of
|
||||
text inside them.
|
||||
* For each row, all cells are extended by empty strings to have
|
||||
matching number of lines of text inside them.
|
||||
* For each column, all lines of text inside all of the cells are
|
||||
padded with spaces to have uniform width.
|
||||
|
||||
Then each table row is converted to list of strings adding column
|
||||
separators and table borders as required. These lists are then joined
|
||||
with row separators and possibly prefixed and suffixed by top and
|
||||
bottom table border.
|
||||
|
||||
The resulting list of strings is joined with newline character as the
|
||||
separator.
