"""
Functions that render ASCII tables.

Some generic notes about the table formatting functions in this module:

- These functions were not written with performance in mind (*at all*) because
  they're intended to format tabular data to be presented on a terminal. If
  someone were to run into a performance problem using these functions, they'd
  be printing so much tabular data to the terminal that a human wouldn't be
  able to digest the tabular data anyway, so the point is moot :-).

- These functions ignore ANSI escape sequences (at least the ones generated by
  the :mod:`~humanfriendly.terminal` module) in the calculation of columns
  widths. On reason for this is that column names are highlighted in color when
  connected to a terminal. It also means that you can use ANSI escape sequences
  to highlight certain column's values if you feel like it (for example to
  highlight deviations from the norm in an overview of calculated values).

# Pre-emptive snarky comment: This pattern doesn't match every possible

# fall under the DWIM umbrella :-).

    If you want an easy way to render tabular data on a terminal in a human
    friendly format then this function is for you! It works as follows:

    - If the input data doesn't contain any line breaks the function
      :func:`format_pretty_table()` is used to render a pretty table. If the
      resulting table fits in the terminal without wrapping the rendered pretty
      table is returned.

    - If the input data does contain line breaks or if a pretty table would
      wrap (given the width of the terminal) then the function
      :func:`format_robust_table()` is used to render a more robust table that
      can deal with data containing line breaks and long text.

            return pretty_table
    # Fall back to a robust table when a pretty table won't work.

    Notes about the resulting table:

    - If a column contains numeric data (integer and/or floating point
      numbers) in all rows (ignoring column names of course) then the content
      of that column is right-aligned, as can be seen in the example above. The
      idea here is to make it easier to compare the numbers in different
      columns to each other.

    - The column names are highlighted in color so they stand out a bit more
      (see also :data:`.HIGHLIGHT_COLOR`). The following screen shot shows what
      that looks like (my terminals are always set to white text on a black
      background):
