The 'column' utility from package 'bsdmainutils' can be used to properly
align the columns:

[The web interface might "improve" the output by turning any run of
space characters into a single space, removing the intended illustrative
effect, as can be seen in the comment above]

    $ datamash -g 2 min 3 max 3 < /usr/share/doc/datamash/examples/scores.txt | 
column -s$'\t' -t
    Arts             46  88
    Business         79  94
    Health-Medicine  72  100
    Social-Sciences  27  90
    Life-Sciences    14  91
    Engineering      39  99

[With this specific input, one need not specify the separator, because
no column comprises "blank" characters, i.e., the "-s" option can be
omitted here, but not in general for the so called "TSV" format.]
