See a demo firstly:

var body = [
  ['#1', '王小为', '1992-08-01', '备注：hustcc'], 
  ['#2', '小泥巴', '1992-09-20'],
  ['#3', '佚名', '保密']
];
 
// basic usage
var wt = new WordTable(header, body);
console.log(wt.string());

The API is so simple that documents are not needed.

wt.setHeader(['id', 'name', 'birthday']);
wt.appendBody(['#3', '佚名', '保密']);
wt.setBody([['#4', '在线工具', '保密', 'atool.org']]);

wt.string();
wt.reset();
