libfort (Library to create FORmatted Tables)

libfort - a simple library to create formatted ASCII tables.

Features:

Easy to integrate (only 2 files: fort.c and fort.h from lib direrctory)
Customization of appearance (various border styles and row/column/cell options for indentation, alignment, padding)
A number of functions to fill the table (add content by adding separate cells, rows or use printf like functions)
Support of multiple lines in cells
Support of wide characters

Example

#include "fort.h"
#include "stdio.h"
int main(void)
{
    ft_table_t *table = ft_create_table();
    /* Set "header" type for the first row */
    ft_set_cell_option(table, 0, FT_ANY_COLUMN, FT_COPT_ROW_TYPE, FT_ROW_HEADER);
    ft_write_ln(table, "N", "Planet", "Speed, km/s");

    ft_write_ln(table, "1", "Mercury", "47.362");
    ft_write_ln(table, "2", "Venus", "35.02");
    ft_write_ln(table, "3", "Earth", "29.78");

    printf("%s\n", ft_to_string(table));
    ft_destroy_table(table);
}

Output:

+---+---------+-------------+
| N | Planet  | Speed, km/s |
+---+---------+-------------+
| 1 | Mercury | 47.362      |
| 2 | Venus   | 35.02       |
| 3 | Earth   | 29.78       |
+---+---------+-------------+
