Print_table provides a minimal library for rendering text tables with Unicode box-drawing characters and optional ANSI colors:

```ocaml

# let columns =

  Print_table.O.

    [ Column.make ~header:"Name" (fun (name, _) -> Cell.text name)

    ; Column.make ~header:"Score" ~align:Right (fun (_, score) ->

        Cell.text (Int.to_string score))

    ]

val columns : (string * int) Print_table.Column.t list = [; ]

# let rows = [ "Alice", 10; "Bob", 3 ] ;;

val rows : (string * int) list = [("Alice", 10); ("Bob", 3)]

# print_endline (Print_table.to_string_text (Print_table.make ~columns ~rows))

┌───────┬───────┐

│ Name  │ Score │

├───────┼───────┤

│ Alice │    10 │

│ Bob   │     3 │

└───────┴───────┘

- : unit = ()

```

Or as GitHub-flavored Markdown:

```ocaml

# print_endline (Print_table.to_string_markdown (Print_table.make ~columns ~rows))

| Name  | Score |

|:------|------:|

| Alice |    10 |

| Bob   |     3 |

- : unit = ()

```

which is rendered natively by GitHub like this:

| Name  | Score |

|:------|------:|

| Alice |    10 |

| Bob   |     3 |
