Interesting... Can't wait to check that out! Sounds like something I might want to switch to in my Sports Stats code.

Pretty simple to use:

load('table.js');
var data = [['the','heading','row'],['the','next','row']]; // and so on
// data, line colour, heading colour, cell colour, width
var t = table(data, '\1h\1c', '\1h\1w', '\1n\1w', 79);
console.putmsg(t);

All arguments except 'data' are optional.

You can do column-spanning cells by leaving the next cell to the right empty:

var data = [['a cell','a colspan cell','']];

Or row-spanning cells with ':::' in the cells to span:

var data = [['this cell spans three rows'],[':::'],[':::']];

And combinations of the above. Cell content wrapping for column spanning cells is still a to-do item. Wrapping within normal cells works.

wiki-markup.js is worth taking a peek at as well, since table.js was created in support of it. Handles most of the DokuWiki markup syntax, and renders to HTML, console, or Frame. May be useful at some point. (Use the same routine in a script to generate markup whether for the console or for the web, then just render it for the appropriate view.)

Can you specify cell size/width (so that, for example, box scores are all formatted the same when stacked over each other)?

There isn't a good way to force a table or column width right now. This was made to automatically size to the terminal width. Cells in the same column in
a table are the same width of course, but separate tables with different contents may be different sizes.

It strips trailing whitespace off of cell contents. I might be able to change that, and then padding out cell contents with spaces might be one way to force a column width. Right now all you could do is front-pad with spaces, or pad one side or the other with some printable character (periods maybe).

Word wrapping within cells complicates this somewhat. If your cell contents overflow the maximum possible cell width, they will be wrapped. Whitespace would not be any help there.

Does it also do the left/right/center alignment (of table cells) thing that dokuwiki does?

Not yet; that's something I've been meaning to add.

Ah, thanks. It's one of the feature I do use.

That's not too different from what I'm doing now. I have to pad each piece of the box score to a certain width. I'll definitely play around with it, sounds like a very useful library.

The only case where there might be an issue is baseball. Extra-innings games have no limit, so in theory there could be more innings than there is available width to display them. In Sports Stats, I try to make more room when this occurs by removing padding, etc. But still, not much you can do about the rare 20-inning game. I just let it break if it's particularly extreme.
