would be nice. I requested the same about a month ago, though that was really about special treatment for latin-1 characters.
as you may be aware, utf8 has a variable 1 or 2 character encoding depending on the character, and it would be harder to box, but I am sure that even with full wchars, the approach of trying to pad with spaces cannot work, especially not accross jhs and jqt. Without resorting to OS calls for textwidth, and drawing on OS canvas/pictureboxes, an approach that would be reasonable is converting to html table, and then blaming qt, chrome and firefox if it doesn't look right. this command in jhs looks ok: (using new editable table feature) jtable 'e2';'n' [ n=: ,: <"1 ] 4 u: 97 98 99 +/ 0 256 512 1024 so it will at least look good this way? Converting boxed data to an html table fragment seems useful enough to have been done before. Has it?

Has anyone written a verb to format such boxes so that the boxes line up?
