Ruler Styling

psv allows any combination of three aspects of each ruler, namely:

column separators ( | or + characters)
column padding (zero or one space (ASCII 32, U+0020) between column separators and the horizontal ruler line)
horizontal lines ( - or = characters)

Here is an overview of the different types of rulers available:

+- | Animal | Color| Avg. Weight + = |- | - |= | = +=

Only the first space is used to determine ruler padding:

| Animal | Color| Avg. Weight || -------|------|-------------| ^ | +-- this space will cause the ruler to be padded (the first, empty column is ignored)

| Animal | Color | Avg. Weight | ||------- | ----- | ----------- | ^ | +-- this horizontal line will cause the ruler's padding to be removed (the first, empty column is ignored)

try removing the data row, see what happens when a table has no data
