Hi all,
 
Some protocol dissectors would benefit from table-like support (E.g., RADIUS TLV format rendering, WBXML rendering), but there's no built-in support for this yet. One can fake tables (as I did with WBXML) by assuming a proportional font will be used at all times, but this premice is untrue when looking at Packetyzer which is based on Ethereal dissection code.
 
A simple implementation can be based on a vararg list of const char * column entries with a justify specifier per column entry.
 
Any more protocols liking/needing this table support?
 
Regards,
 
Olivier
