Multi-line table headers

Is it possible for the the "Table" widget to have multi-line headers?

Can a header text wrap to a second line if the text doesn't fit in the specified table width? Or can the column widths be fixed widths like the table widget itself? Therefore could the overflow text wrap to the next line?

If not I would suggest it as a new feature.

Thanks

Great software!

Michael,

Multi-line headers is something that needs to be implemented. I am planning on adding the possibility to use '\n' sequence to specify line breaks. This will look like this:

Table,Header,With\nMultiline,Support

The table will then layout everything accordingly. What do you think?

That sounds like a good implementation. Thanks for the response. And thanks again for all the fantastic updates; this is a great tool.

Michael,

The development version now supports \n syntax to create multi-line table headers. You can also use it in other places to get results like this:

Multi-line text syntax

You can give it a try by installing the development version from here:

I'd like to have your feedback on this!

Best regards,
