el table formatter

The tool takes structured tabular data and applies deterministic formatting rules to produce clean, consistent tables for downstream consumption. Conceptually, it parses inputs into a canonical matrix, analyzes each column to determine appropriate alignment and width, and then renders a formatted string or exportable representation. This approach enables automation-friendly outputs that can be embedded in reports, documents, or code before distribution. The system is designed for engineers, data scientists, and writers who require reproducible results without manual adjustments. By supporting multiple input formats and export options, it reduces data-prep friction and ensures uniform presentation across platforms. The tool excels in pipelines where tables are generated programmatically and must align with strict column counts and precision rules. Unique value lies in its explicit handling of numeric vs text data, locale-aware formatting options, and a compact, well-defined output that can be consumed by other tools. Core features include CSV/TSV/JSON input parsing, column-width optimization, per-column alignment (numeric right, text left), numeric precision control, and export formats such as Markdown, CSV, or fixed-width text. Use cases include preparing tables for automated reports, software documentation, data dashboards, or test fixtures. The tool emphasizes deterministic behavior, predictable spacing, and easy integration with automation scripts, reducing manual edits and improving reproducibility.
