Cells in adjacent lines // constitute a column. The Writer inserts padding as needed to // make all cells in a column have the same width, effectively // aligning the columns. It assumes that all characters have the // same width except for tabs for which a tabwidth must be specified. // Note that cells are tab-terminated, not tab-separated: trailing // non-tab text at the end of a line does not form a column cell. // // The Writer assumes that all Unicode code points have the same width; // this may not be true in some fonts. // // If DiscardEmptyColumns is set, empty columns that are terminated // entirely by vertical (or "soft") tabs are discarded. Columns // terminated by horizontal (or "hard") tabs are not affected by // this flag. // // If a Writer is configured to filter HTML, HTML tags and entities // are simply passed through. The widths of tags and entities are // assumed to be zero (tags) and one (entities) for formatting purposes. // // A segment of text may be escaped by bracketing it with Escape // characters. The tabwriter passes escaped text segments through // unchanged. In particular, it does not interpret any tabs or line // breaks within the segment. If the StripEscape flag is set, the // Escape characters are stripped from the output; otherwise they // are passed through as well. For the purpose of formatting, the // width of the escaped text is always computed excluding the Escape // characters. // // The formfeed character ('\f') acts like a newline but it also // terminates all columns in the current line (effectively calling // Flush). Cells in the next line start new columns. Unless found // inside an HTML tag or inside an escaped text segment, formfeed // characters appear as newlines in the output. // // The Writer must buffer input internally, because proper spacing // of one line may depend on the cells in future lines.
