Add an option to prettify output #6

Closed upstreammuse closed 2 years ago

upstreammuse commented 4 years ago

There is currently a stub implementation that writes an output file that is intended to precisely match the input file. This is good for testing. However, it would be nice to have a "--pretty" option that writes the output with some style applied to it. For example, by measuring the lengths of all the various strings, it could write a file with fixed column widths so everything lines up well. This should only result in whitespace diffs, so a user tracking their file could verify that no actual data was modified.

Considering this complete with the implementation of tabular output file saving. Will open new issues to add/correct from here.
