# Tabler

Tabler is a simple bot that lets you create readable, simple or complex tables in your server. It uses a range of easy to understand options to let you create awesome looking tables.

## Get started

To create a table, you can use the `t!table` command. It takes two main arguments over two lines:

- The first line, right after the command, is where you provide options, such as `--singleLine`.
- The second line, and any subsequent lines, are used for the rows, columns and content of the table.

Here's an example of a simple table you can create with one option:

Let's break it down:

- The command `t!table` is used along with an option, `--col(1).width=20`, and 3 rows of content
- The option `--col(1).width=20` tells the bot to set the first column's content (being `Name`, `Frederick` and `Bob`) to have a width of 20 spaces across.
- The table's rows and content are being split by a `|`, which tells the bot to make a new column

Pretty easy, isn't it?
