FAQ
Q1
Half-width space or full-width space — which is recommended?
Half-width space is recommended for monospace environments. Full-width spaces may render as 2 characters wide and break alignment.
Q2
How is the max width determined?
The max width is the display width of the widest line in your input. All lines are padded to this width.
Q3
Will it align correctly in Excel?
Excel cells use proportional fonts by default, so alignment will not be precise. This tool is designed for monospace terminals and text editors.
