Tabulate is a command line utility that converts standard input into pretty-printed tables. It is also a Tcl module that does the same with lists of lists. It was inspired by https://github.com/joepvd/table . Tabulate works in Tcl 8.5+ and Jim Tcl.
It is currently developed as part of the Sqawk repository.

% info tclversion
8.6
% info patchlevel
8.6.4
% source tabulate.tcl
% ::tabulate::tabulate -data {{Hello World!}}
wrong # args: should be "dict exists dictionary key ?key ...?"
