# 📃 PyColumnizer
## Classic UNIX-style real-time text formatter with unicode and pipe support
> This program allows you to format one / multiple files or piped stream in the format of classic UNIX docs,
> splitting them into columns, adding line numbers, header, etc. Formatting is done line by line in real time
> (i.e., the output of the program can also be piped to another program)
> In fact, this is an improved version of the "pr" command with Unicode support
----------

### No paging, single column
```shell
columnizer -c 1 -t "Example text" --single-page text.txt > output.txt
```
> If `--single-page` is specified, in normal mode (not `--across`) only the first column will be filled in,
> because formatting occurs in real time and PyColumnizer does not know the final amount of text in order
> to divide it into columns
