The 42 // Writer inserts padding as needed to make all cells in a column have 43 // the same width, effectively aligning the columns. It assumes that 44 // all characters have the same width, except for tabs for which a 45 // tabwidth must be specified. Column cells must be tab-terminated, not 46 // tab-separated: non-tab terminated trailing text at the end of a line 47 // forms a cell but that cell is not part of an aligned column. 48 // For instance, in this example (where | stands for a horizontal tab): 49 // 50 // aaaa|bbb|d 51 // aa |b |dd 52 // a | 53 // aa |cccc|eee 54 // 55 // the b and c are in distinct columns (the b column is not contiguous 56 // all the way). The d and e are not in a column at all (there's no 57 // terminating tab, nor would the column be contiguous). 58 // 59 // The Writer assumes that all Unicode code points have the same width; 60 // this may not be true in some fonts or if the string contains combining 61 // characters. 62 // 63 // If DiscardEmptyColumns is set, empty columns that are terminated 64 // entirely by vertical (or "soft") tabs are discarded. Columns 65 // terminated by horizontal (or "hard") tabs are not affected by 66 // this flag. 67 // 68 // If a Writer is configured to filter HTML, HTML tags and entities 69 // are passed through. The widths of tags and entities are 70 // assumed to be zero (tags) and one (entities) for formatting purposes. 71 // 72 // A segment of text may be escaped by bracketing it with Escape 73 // characters. The tabwriter passes escaped text segments through 74 // unchanged. In particular, it does not interpret any tabs or line 75 // breaks within the segment. If the StripEscape flag is set, the 76 // Escape characters are stripped from the output; otherwise they 77 // are passed through as well. For the purpose of formatting, the 78 // width of the escaped text is always computed excluding the Escape 79 // characters. 80 // 81 // The formfeed character acts like a newline but it also terminates 82 // all columns in the current line (effectively calling Flush). Tab- 83 // terminated cells in the next line start new columns. Unless found 84 // inside an HTML tag or inside an escaped text segment, formfeed 85 // characters appear as newlines in the output. 86 // 87 // The Writer must buffer input internally, because proper spacing 88 // of one line may depend on the cells in future lines.
