Markdown output?

[thbar]

Hello,

I find myself using this great library more and more, thank you for it!

One use-case I'm facing is that I use it with Elixir .exs scripts to explore data, resulting in things like:

and at this point, quite often, I would like to be able to copy it into GitHub issues, and it would be great to be able to output Markdown tables with the exact same sorting / filtering.

I realise that it is a bit "off" compared to the initial goal of the library.

Maybe I could write some form of external plugin to do that, if the library allows it in a way or another?

Let me know if you have ideas!

(or maybe it can be done with a specific "style" ?)

Hi Thibault, I am not sure I understand your request. Do you mean that you would like to be able to paste the generated table (like in a README file) after sending the output to the clipboard? Like in your example it would mean 111 lines of about a 100 characters. If so, do you have any suggestion of how to tackle this?
