    @democluj: I just added a way to copy the HTML table's code. Hope that helps!

    Thanks but I think I could have done that with "Inspect Element" feature of Google Chrome (any way much easy now with copy/paste in two clicks. Thanks!). I was wondering if I could somehow copy the Unicode Art table code to make posts with tables on StackOverFlor for example...I've tried to simply just copy it but it's not right.

    Sorry about last post (made me look a liitle stupid)... I just figured it out (for StackOverFlow post). Just put the code copied from here in between pre code here /pre. Put pre and /pre between bracketts.

    Wow. it's really excellent. just pasted a quite odd excel table and worked perfect. Even better if it could the exact wiki/markdown markup but i'll fix that with a text editor. Thanks!!

    Thanks for this very useful tool. I use it almost every week to make ascii tables for text emails at [Express Sign Products](http://www.expresssignproducts.com).

    Great tool. Shame it doesn't look as good in Notepad text file. Is there a way to fix that? It does look great in NoteTab Pro but most of my users have NotePad.

    Thanks!

      A great tool indeed! The MySQL output looks fine in Notepad for me. Are you using a fixed-width font? If you are unsure, go to Format -> Font... and select "Lucida Console" or "Consolas" and see if that fixes the problem.

    Thanks, this works great!

    Is there any way to specify a column width and have it wrap the text as needed (preferably keeping whole words together)?

    Very cool. I forked this for my own needs, I also added Github Markdown to the list of formats: http://ozh.github.io/ascii-tables/

    This is fantastic, thanks!

    btw, you might want to add a note somewhere about unicode requiring UTF-8 for webpages, added by using a META tag and then setting:
        content='text/html; charset=UTF-8' http-equiv='Content-Type'

    ... and that unicode probably won't work on windows without users changing fonts.

    Thank you for this tool, I found it via stack overflow and I use it often to embed excel tables into source code.

    Any chance of getting more than one unicode style? Instead of just double lines also single line and bold single line?
    Sorry for the greediness. :-)

    Awesome tool!! I have one suggestion. On the textareas would you consider adding wrap="off" to the element attributes? That way if the table is long it still looks right and you will get a scroll bar on the textarea.

    Fantastic tool! I have one suggestion - when I have numbers that have thousands separators they are not being right-aligned. Can you check for a thousands separator in the numbers and right-align if they exist? Thanks!
