Bug #130333 for Text-Table: Alignment Feature request

Hi! I just started yesterday using Text::Table and was a bit puzzled as the output wasn't what I expected. This is the smallest example I can create to illustrate my non-understanding: my $tb= Text::Table->new( { title => 'left' }, \' | ', { title => 'right', align => 'right' }); $tb->add('<','>'); print $tb I got left | right < | > where "<" is clearly NOT right aligned (to my understanding. When I added $tb->add('<<','>>') print $tb I got: left | right < | > << | >> which finally clarified my misunderstanding. Headers are not included in the calculation of the alignment. I worked around this by changing my code to include a sample having the width of the title, so something like this: Text::Table->new( { title => 'left', sample=> '----', }, \' | ', { title => 'right', sample=> '-----', align => 'right', }, ); Maybe it's possible to include a method/parameter to tell the table to include the headers in the width/alignment calculation? -- Stephan
