Columnize
=========
Easy column-formatted output for golang

Columnize is a really small Go package that makes building CLI's a little bit
easier. In some CLI designs, you want to output a number similar items in a
human-readable way with nicely aligned columns. However, figuring out how wide
to make each column is a boring problem to solve and eats your valuable time.
Here is an example:
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/ryanuber/columnize"
)
func main() {
output := []string{
"Name | Gender | Age",
"Bob | Male | 38",
"Sally | Female | 26",
}
result := columnize.SimpleFormat(output)
fmt.Println(result)
}
```
As you can see, you just pass in a list of strings. And the result:
```
Name Gender Age
Bob Male 38
Sally Female 26
```
Columnize is tolerant of missing or empty fields, or even empty lines, so
passing in extra lines for spacing should show up as you would expect.
Configuration
=============
Columnize is configured using a `Config`, which can be obtained by calling the
`DefaultConfig()` method. You can then tweak the settings in the resulting
`Config`:
```
config := columnize.DefaultConfig()
config.Delim = "|"
config.Glue = " "
config.Prefix = ""
config.Empty = ""
```
* `Delim` is the string by which columns of **input** are delimited
* `Glue` is the string by which columns of **output** are delimited
* `Prefix` is a string by which each line of **output** is prefixed
* `Empty` is a string used to replace blank values found in output
You can then pass the `Config` in using the `Format` method (signature below) to
have text formatted to your liking.
