text-table

A simple package to display utf-8 textual tables. Check out the docs.

To install:

raco pkg install text-table

See the example in the main submodule of the main.rkt file. You can observe the results by running:

racket -l text-table

A minimalistic example:

#lang racket
(require text-table)

(print-simple-table
 '((a b c d e f gggg h)
   (12  "a\nbcde" 77 54 1  5646547987 41 1)
   (111 222 3333 44 5 6 7 8888)))

Output:

a   b    c    d  e f          gggg h   
12  a    77   54 1 5646547987 41   1   
    bcde                               
111 222  3333 44 5 6          7    8888

A less minimalistic example:

(print-table
 '((a b c d e f gggg h)
   (12  "a\nbcde" 77 54 1  5646547987 41 1)
   (111 222 3333 44 5 6 7 8888)))

An example with some more bells and whistles:

(print-table
 '((a b c d e f gggg h)
   (12  "a\nbcde" 77 54 1  5646547987 41 1)
   (111 222 3333 44 5 6 7 8888))
