Width is set in the TextStyle and (potentially) in the Appendable.
The TextStyle specifies for the specific chunk of code what the requested
size is. The Appendable can ignore that or make adjustments to it. This
is seen in the TextHelpAppendable.appendTable() method where the specified
columns
Hi Eric,
TextStyle and TextHelpAppenndable carry widths.

Working through it… I am hoping to be able to contribute a
AsciiDocAppendable.
So, here is a question.. How do I set the Width? HelpFormatter.setWidth()
has gone away, and I can’t quite track where it went!

Not hearing any other ideas and even though I prefer "Scribe" I will rename
the class to "HelpWriter".
Thanks everyone for your input.

My vote (which everyone is free to ignore) is still for HelpWriter. It's
simple and intuitive, and it's consistent with the names of the methods the
interface declares (e.g. writePara, writeTable). I
find SemanticAppendableDecorator too verbose and I have no intuition for
what it means.

If we can settle on a name for the
serializer/scribe/writer/printDecorator/amenuensis thing the rest of the
code is ready. It passes all the tests, it has 100% test coverage, and it
works for what Rat is trying to do.

I know some graphics programs use the term "engraver" for code that creates
the output of graphical representations of things (like notes, staves, and
resets in musical notation). Scribe seems like the textual equivalent.
If we go with the decorator approach then I think the underlying interface

I am now thinking "Scribe". Writer tend to indicate that you can do low
level writing and would expect the Writer to implement the Writer interface.
"Amanuensis" comes to mind but that is too hard to spell/type. ;)

That sounds similar to java.io.Writer. Maybe this should be a HelpWriter?

Actually the Producer constructor takes an "Appendable" as an argument and
then provides methods like
printPara("Some text here")
Which would output a paragraph of "Some text here"

I have to agree that Serializer is an overloaded term and should be
avoided, and I knew when I named it that the name would have to change.
But I don't like "Render" because it is a verb and the noun for something
that renders would be a renderer. And to my ears (and fingers) that seems
clunky.

Quick comment: I don't think we should call anything "seriialize*",
it's too close to Java serialization. I'd use "render".

I have a system that mostly works. But implementing XML output requires
StringEscapeUtils from commons-text. I know we are reluctant to include
other packages. So my thought is that we provide the XML option as an
example so that we don't include the commons-text in the package.

I have been working on Rat and have a set of classes that output markdown.
I think I can make CLI HelpFormtter system take a class to output the data

What rat is doing now is writing help to a file and using APT format to
include that using Velocity.

Hi Claude,
I think it needs to be flexible/complex just enough to support doing what I

If we create something new, it would be nice to have example in tests that

I think that help formatting really comes down to building a textual matrix
from a list of Options. To do this we need to have several things:
1. A list of headers (text for the columns in the table)
2. The minimum and maximum width for each column. (perhaps as a % of the
width)
3. A m
Or a new better formatting class?

After more exploration it seems that HelpFormatter is really not designed
to be extended. I will have to rethink this. It may make sense to make
some of the HelpFormatter methods static so that they can be used in other
implementations.

Greetings,
I have a case in RAT where we want to append a line to the help text when
the option has multiple arguments or when we have defined a default value.
I have implemented this in a renderOptions() implementation in CLI 1.8.0.
In both cases we use the Option to check for some state and the
