-**libfort** - a simple library to create formatted ASCII tables. **libfort** is written in C language and can be used in C and C++ projects. For C++ projects that use compiler with c++11 support there is also availabe convenient c++ wrappers around c functions (see **fort.hpp** in **lib** direrctory).
