Hello,

when doing an internet search for "ASCII table", one will get an overwhelming amount of links to "ASCII table"s, which, predominantly, are about an ASCII encoding table (which is something entirely different from this project!).

I originally started by doing an Ubuntu package search:
apt-cache search ASCII

Within these results, I then searched for "table", and ended up locating various packages which said "ASCII tables", and this (seemingly this upstream project) package ruby-terminal-table which said:

ruby-terminal-table - ascii table generation library

So, there are two issues:

  • skipping the helpful clarification that this is about generating ASCII-based tables rather than "ASCII tables"
  • use of singular instead of plural (which would successfully hint at the actual purpose of this project, by other means)

Thus, I would suggest changing relevant descriptions
from "ascii table"
to "ascii-based tables"
, thus fully clarifying it by mentioning both based on and plural.

Within such a change, it might also be useful to correct (arguably) incorrect "ascii" spelling into the proper spec-compliant naming "ASCII", too.

Thanks!
