I have some documentation in an html table. I want to convert the table to an ascii table, like you see when you get a mysql command line result back, like this:
+------------+------------+
| header | header |
+------------+------------+
| cell data | cell data |
+------------+------------+
| cell data | cell data |
+------------+------------+
... so I can include it in some code comments.
How could I do this easily? I was thinking piping the output of lynx into a file, but lynx doesn't put ascii borders around tables :P
I also want to control cell width, so that the content cells don't spill outside the accepted screen width of the code.
