Description

This library allows you to put text data into boxes and align them horizontally, applying margin, padding, borders.

A snippet from grid-examples.el. Evaluate it in a buffer at the first character of some line:

(grid-insert-content
 `(((:content ,grid-multiline-str :width 10 :border t :padding 1)
    (:content ,grid-lipsum-2 :width "33%" :padding 2)
    (:content ,grid-lipsum :width "33%" :padding 3))
   ((:content ,grid-multiline-str :width "49%" :border t :padding 1)
    (:content ,grid-lipsum :width "49%" :border t :padding 10))))

Result:

You can wrap into a box any text you want. Any text properties will be saved. For example, this is a combination of light-dashboard and some other text:

(grid-insert-content
 `(((:content ,grid-calendar :width 24 :border t :padding 1)
    (:content ,light-dashboard-dashboard-string :width 40)
    (:content ,grid-lipsum :width 40 :border 1 :padding 1))))

Result:
