// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Filter implementation

// A cell represents a segment of text terminated by tabs or line breaks.
// The text itself is stored in a separate buffer; cell only describes the
// segment's size in bytes, its width in runes, and whether it's an htab
// ('\t') terminated cell.
//
type cell struct {
	size  int  // cell size in bytes
	width int  // cell width in runes
	htab  bool // true if the cell is terminated by an htab ('\t')
}


// A Writer is a filter that inserts padding around tab-delimited
// columns in its input to align them in the output.
//
// The Writer treats incoming bytes as UTF-8 encoded text consisting
// of cells terminated by (horizontal or vertical) tabs or line
// breaks (newline or formfeed characters). Cells in adjacent lines
// constitute a column. The Writer inserts padding as needed to
// make all cells in a column have the same width, effectively
// aligning the columns. It assumes that all characters have the
// same width except for tabs for which a tabwidth must be specified.
// Note that cells are tab-terminated, not tab-separated: trailing
// non-tab text at the end of a line does not form a column cell.
//
// The Writer assumes that all Unicode code points have the same width;
// this may not be true in some fonts.
//
// If DiscardEmptyColumns is set, empty columns that are terminated
// entirely by vertical (or "soft") tabs are discarded. Columns
// terminated by horizontal (or "hard") tabs are not affected by
// this flag.
//
// If a Writer is configured to filter HTML, HTML tags and entities
// are simply passed through. The widths of tags and entities are
// assumed to be zero (tags) and one (entities) for formatting purposes.
//
// A segment of text may be escaped by bracketing it with Escape
// characters. The tabwriter passes escaped text segments through
// unchanged. In particular, it does not interpret any tabs or line
// breaks within the segment. If the StripEscape flag is set, the
// Escape characters are stripped from the output; otherwise they
// are passed through as well. For the purpose of formatting, the
// width of the escaped text is always computed excluding the Escape
// characters.
//
// The formfeed character ('\f') acts like a newline but it also
// terminates all columns in the current line (effectively calling
// Flush). Cells in the next line start new columns. Unless found
// inside an HTML tag or inside an escaped text segment, formfeed
// characters appear as newlines in the output.
//
// The Writer must buffer input internally, because proper spacing
// of one line may depend on the cells in future lines. Clients must
// call Flush when done calling Write.

// - the sizes and widths of processed text are kept in the lines list
