Table borders reference

TTableBorderKind enumerates the glyph sets used by Table. Each has a unicode form (where applicable) and an ASCII fallback; non-unicode terminals automatically use the fallback.

Available kinds

Kind	Description
None	Whitespace - columns sit in plain text.
Ascii	+, -, |. Always ASCII.
Ascii2	ASCII with cell verticals on header sides.
AsciiDoubleHead	ASCII with = in the header separator.
Square (default)	─ │ ┌ etc.
Rounded	Like Square but with rounded corners.
Heavy	━ ┃ ┏ ...
HeavyEdge	Heavy outer edges + light inner separators.
HeavyHead	Heavy top + heavy header separator, light elsewhere.
Double	═ ║ ╔ ...
DoubleEdge	Double outer edges + light inner separators.
Minimal	Only the cell vertical and the header separator.
MinimalHeavyHead	Minimal with a heavy header separator.
MinimalDoubleHead	Minimal with a double header separator.
Simple	Only the header separator dashes; no verticals.
SimpleHeavy	Simple but with heavy header separator.
Horizontal	Dashes for every horizontal line, no verticals.
Minimalist	Header underline + space cell separator only.
Markdown	Pipes + dashes, GitHub-compatible.

Markdown is special - the resulting output is valid GitHub-flavoured markdown that pastes cleanly into PRs and issues:

| Name  | Score |
|-------|-------|
| Alice |   128 |
| Bob   |    96 |

Usage

table := Widgets.Table.WithBorder(TTableBorderKind.Rounded);
