Create docs for text handling/rendering #439

Open rich-iannone opened 1 week ago

rich-iannone commented 1 week ago

Documentation is currently a bit limited w.r.t. text input for a wide variety of methods (e.g., cols_label(), tab_header(), etc.).

We seem to be missing:

We ought to have a section in the Get Started guide that generally explains the value of inline units in a table (e.g., why use inline units at all?).

One more piece from recent discussions, it might help to have a one sentence explanation os what a "unit" is, and what "units" are (e.g. is everything inside the {{}} shorthand a unit? or is it "units" and a unit is a smaller piece)
