Text

Utility functions to manipulate text with or without ANSI escape sequences. Most of the functions available are used in one or more of the other packages here.

• Align text horizontally or vertically
  • text/align.go and text/valign.go
• Colorize text
  • text/color.go
• Cursor Movement
  • text/cursor.go
• Format text (convert case)
  • text/format.go
• String Manipulation (Pad, RepeatAndTrim, RuneCount, Trim, etc.)
  • text/string.go
• Transform text (UnixTime to human-readable-time, pretty-JSON, etc.)
  • text/transformer.go
• Wrap text
  • text/wrap.go

The unit-tests for each of the above show how these can be used. There GoDoc should also have examples for all the available functions.
