This is a fork of text/tabwriter that is escape code friendly, in that:

• Escape codes (particularly, color codes; more are planned) are not counted in the width calculation for each table
• Escape codes are still printed

When coupled with a library like fatih/color you can get some great results. Check out our example. For a quick demo, run these commands (will pull the repository):

go get -d github.com/erikh/colorwriter
go run github.com/erikh/colorwriter/example

Which will print some diagnostics and show you how the two libraries differ in effect.
