@openinf/util-text

Essential cross-platform terminal-friendly text utilities

The high-level goal of @openinf/util-text is to serve as a Node.js package containing essential cross-platform text utilities that degrade gracefully when used in terminals lacking feature support. As is the case with any software project in continuous development, omissions and errors may exist, for which contributions are welcome.
