'''Tabulate''' is a command line utility that converts standard input into pretty-printed tables. It is also a Tcl [module] that does the same with lists of lists. It was inspired by https://github.com/joepvd/table. Tabulate works in Tcl 8.5+ and [Jim Tcl].

It is currently developed as part of the [Sqawk] repository.

[JM] I am probably doing something wrong:<<br>>
 % info tclversion
 8.6
 % info patchlevel
 8.6.4
 % source tabulate.tcl
 % ::tabulate::tabulate -data {{Hello World!}}
 wrong # args: should be "dict exists dictionary key ?key ...?"
