Using color for part of the text in a cell causes formatting issue

Using color for part of the text in a cell causes formatting issue. The issue also happens with libraries like owo-colors or colored

To reproduce

fn main() {
    use tabled::{Table, Tabled};

    #[derive(Tabled)]
    struct Language {
        name: String,
        designed_by: String,
        invented_year: usize,
    }

    let languages = vec![
        Language{
            name: "Rust".to_string(),
            designed_by: format!("{} {}", "Graydon", "\x1b[31mHoare\x1b[0m"),
            invented_year: 2010
        },
    ];

    let table = Table::new(languages).to_string();

    println!("{}",table);
}

Bug

+------+----------------------+---------------+
| name | designed_by          | invented_year |
+------+----------------------+---------------+
| Rust | Graydon Hoare | 2010          |
+------+----------------------+---------------+

Expected

+------+----------------------+---------------+
| name | designed_by          | invented_year |
+------+----------------------+---------------+
| Rust | Graydon Hoare        | 2010          |

Hi @fbonin

I do bet there's no actual issue. I think you have just forgotten to use ansi feature.

[dependencies]
tabled = { version = "0.15", features = ["ansi"] }

See

Let me know if it solves the problem

I confirm that it fixes my issue.

Thank you very much !

You definitely win the bet 😀
