Render data as a table.

Args: headers: Optional list of column header strings rows: List of data rows, each a list of strings data: Alias for rows -- pass data here if you prefer (cannot use both) fmt: "grid" (default) for ASCII grid, "box" for Unicode box-drawing, "pipe" for Markdown pipe table, "safe" for char-count padding style: Table style (for grid fmt). One of: mysql, separated, compact, gfm, reddit, rounded, rst, box, unicode, dots auto_format: Auto-detect numeric columns (right-align) and center headers safe_width: Count zero-width combining marks as width 1 (for Discord/browsers)

Returns: Formatted table as a Markdown code block (grid/box/safe) or raw pipe table.

Parse a CSV/TSV string and render as a table.

Args: csv_text: Raw CSV-formatted text delimiter: Field delimiter (default: comma). Use '\t' for TSV. has_header: If True (default), first row is treated as column headers fmt: "grid" (default), "box", "safe", or "pipe" style: Table style (for grid fmt) auto_format: Auto-detect numeric columns

Returns: Formatted table.

Parse a JSON array and render as a table.

Accepts either:

• A 2D array: [["Name", "Value"], ["alpha", "1"], ...]

• An object with "headers" and "rows" keys: {"headers":["Name"], "rows":[["alpha"]]}

Args: json_data: JSON string has_header: If True (default), first row is treated as column headers fmt: "grid" (default), "box", "safe", or "pipe" style: Table style (for grid fmt) auto_format: Auto-detect numeric columns

Returns: Formatted table.

Print a preview/example table with sample data.

Args: style: "thai" (default) -- example with Thai/Pali characters "simple" -- plain English example fmt: "grid" (default), "box", "pipe", or "safe" table_style: Table style for grid fmt (mysql, separated, etc.)

Returns: Formatted example table.

Analyze column positions in a grid table (+---+).

Uses display-width space (via wcwidth) for position comparison, so Thai/Pali combining marks (พิทุ, สระบน/ล่าง) are handled correctly.

Scans '+' markers in border lines to define column boundaries, then validates '|' alignment in data rows.

Args: table_text: A +---+ grid table as raw text

Returns: Analysis report: column positions, alignment validation, parsed cells

Validate structural integrity of a table (box/grid/pipe).

Auto-detects format, then checks:

• Border/data line alternation

• Marker positions (+, ┬, etc.) are consistent

• Column count is stable across rows

• First and last lines are correct border type

Args: table_text: Raw table text (box, grid, or pipe format)

Returns: Validation report with any structural issues

Render and diagnose a table — shows exact character positions.

Produces a detailed report: plain table, annotated position analysis, and drift comparison between border markers and data pipes.

Args: headers: Optional column headers rows: Data rows data: Alias for rows

Returns: Diagnostic report with position annotations
