[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/Bartvds/minitable.png?branch=master)](http://travis-ci.org/Bartvds/minitable) [![Dependency Status](https://gemnasium.com/Bartvds/minitable.png)](https://gemnasium.com/Bartvds/minitable) [![NPM version](https://badge.fury.io/js/minitable.png)](http://badge.fury.io/js/minitable)

> Minimal table-layout renderer for output styler/writer.

Used in combination with [minichain](https://github.com/Bartvds/minichain) to write table layouts for minimal semantic output write/stylers. The layout is calculated using a `plain` ministyle and any padding is then applied to a custom style like `ministyle.ansi()` or `ministyle.html()`.

Intend as companion to [miniwrite](https://github.com/Bartvds/miniwrite) and [ministyle](https://github.com/Bartvds/ministyle) (et al).
