``margin`` attribute can be available for all of the text format writer classes.

Write a GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) table
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you set ``flavor`` keyword argument of ``MarkdownTableWriter`` class to ``"github"`` or ``"gfm"``, the writer will output markdown tables with GitHub flavor.
GFM can apply some additional styles to tables such as ``fg_color`` (text color).

:Sample Code:
    .. code-block:: python

            from pytablewriter import MarkdownTableWriter
            from pytablewriter.style import Style

            writer = MarkdownTableWriter(
                column_styles=[
                    Style(fg_color="red"),
                    Style(fg_color="green", decoration_line="underline"),
                ],
                headers=["A", "B"],
                value_matrix=[
                    ["abc", 1],
                    ["efg", 2],
                ],
                margin=1,
                flavor="github",
                enable_ansi_escape=False,
            )
            writer.write_table()

Rendered results can be found at `here <https://github.com/thombashi/pytablewriter/blob/master/docs/pages/examples/output/markdown/gfm.md>`__

Get rendered tabular text as str
----------------------------------
``dumps`` method returns rendered tabular text.
``dumps`` only available for text format writers.

:Sample Code:
    .. code-block:: python

        import pytablewriter as ptw


        def main():
            writer = ptw.MarkdownTableWriter(
                headers=["int", "float", "str", "bool", "mix", "time"],
                value_matrix=[
                    [0, 0.1, "hoge", True, 0, "2017-01-01 03:04:05+0900"],
                    [2, "-2.23", "foo", False, None, "2017-12-23 45:01:23+0900"],
                    [3, 0, "bar", "true", "inf", "2017-03-03 33:44:55+0900"],
                    [-10, -9.9, "", "FALSE", "nan", "2017-01-01 00:00:00+0900"],
                ],
            )

            print(writer.dumps())


        if __name__ == "__main__":
            main()

:Output:
    .. code-block::

        |int|float|str |bool |  mix   |          time          |
        |--:|----:|----|-----|-------:|------------------------|

Configure table styles
------------------------
Column styles
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Writers can specify
`Style <https://pytablewriter.rtfd.io/en/latest/pages/reference/style.html>`__
for each column by ``column_styles`` attribute of writer classes.

:Sample Code:
    .. code-block:: python

        import pytablewriter as ptw
        from pytablewriter.style import Style


        def main():
            writer = ptw.MarkdownTableWriter(
                table_name="set style by column_styles",
                headers=[
                    "auto align",
                    "left align",
                    "center align",
                    "bold",
                    "italic",
                    "bold italic ts",
                ],
                value_matrix=[
                    [11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11],
                    [1234, 1234, 1234, 1234, 1234, 1234],
                ],
                column_styles=[
                    Style(),
                    Style(align="left"),
                    Style(align="center"),
                    Style(font_weight="bold"),
                    Style(font_style="italic"),
                    Style(font_weight="bold", font_style="italic", thousand_separator=","),
                ],  # specify styles for each column
            )
            writer.write_table()


        if __name__ == "__main__":
            main()

:Output:
    .. code-block::

        # set style by styles
        |auto align|left align|center align|  bold  |italic|bold italic ts|
        |---------:|----------|:----------:|-------:|-----:|-------------:|
        |        11|11        |     11     |  **11**|  _11_|      _**11**_|
        |      1234|1234      |    1234    |**1234**|_1234_|   _**1,234**_|

    `Rendering result <https://github.com/thombashi/pytablewriter/tree/master/docs/pages/examples/style/output.md>`__


You can also set ``Style`` to a specific column with an index or header by using ``set_style`` method:

:Sample Code:
    .. code-block:: python

        from pytablewriter import MarkdownTableWriter
        from pytablewriter.style import Style

        def main():
            writer = MarkdownTableWriter()
            writer.headers = ["A", "B", "C",]
            writer.value_matrix = [[11, 11, 11], [1234, 1234, 1234]]

            writer.table_name = "set style by column index"
            writer.set_style(1, Style(align="center", font_weight="bold"))
            writer.set_style(2, Style(thousand_separator=" "))
            writer.write_table()
            writer.write_null_line()

            writer.table_name = "set style by header"
            writer.set_style("B", Style(font_style="italic"))
            writer.write_table()

        if __name__ == "__main__":
            main()

:Output:
    .. code-block::

        # set style by column index
        | A  |   B    |  C  |
        |---:|:------:|----:|
        |  11| **11** |   11|
        |1234|**1234**|1 234|

        # set style by header
        | A  |  B   |  C  |
        |---:|-----:|----:|
        |  11|  _11_|   11|
        |1234|_1234_|1 234|

Style filter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can apply styles to specific cells by using style filters.
Style filters will be written as Python functions.
Examples of a style filter function and how you apply it are as follows:

:Sample Code:
    .. code-block:: python

            from typing import Any, Optional

            from pytablewriter import MarkdownTableWriter
            from pytablewriter.style import Cell, Style


            def style_filter(cell: Cell, **kwargs: Any) -> Optional[Style]:
                if cell.is_header_row():
                    return None

                if cell.col == 0:
                    return Style(font_weight="bold")

                value = int(cell.value)

                if value > 80:
                    return Style(fg_color="red", font_weight="bold", decoration_line="underline")
                elif value > 50:
                    return Style(fg_color="yellow", font_weight="bold")
                elif value > 20:
                    return Style(fg_color="green")

                return Style(fg_color="lightblue")


            writer = MarkdownTableWriter(
                table_name="style filter example",
                headers=["Key", "Value 1", "Value 2"],
                value_matrix=[
                    ["A", 95, 40],
                    ["B", 55, 5],
                    ["C", 30, 85],
                    ["D", 0, 69],
                ],
                flavor="github",
                enable_ansi_escape=False,
            )
            writer.add_style_filter(style_filter)
            writer.write_table()

Rendered results can be found at `here <https://github.com/thombashi/pytablewriter/blob/master/docs/pages/examples/output/markdown/style_filter.md>`__

Theme
~~~~~~~
`Theme <https://pytablewriter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pages/reference/theme.html#pytablewriter.style.Theme>`
consists of a set of style filters.
The following command will install external predefined themes:

::

    pip install pytablewriter[theme]

Themes can be set via the constructor of the writer classes or the ``set_theme`` method.
The following is an example of setting the ``altrow`` theme via the constructor.
``altrow`` theme will be colored rows alternatively:

:Sample Code:
    .. code-block:: python

        import pytablewriter as ptw

        writer = ptw.TableWriterFactory.create_from_format_name(
            "markdown",
            headers=["INT", "STR"],
            value_matrix=[[1, "hoge"], [2, "foo"], [3, "bar"]],
            margin=1,
            theme="altrow",
        )
        writer.write_table()

:Output:
    .. figure:: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/thombashi/pytablewriter-altrow-theme@master/ss/ptw-altrow-theme_example_default.png
       :scale: 100%
       :alt: https://github.com/thombashi/pytablewriter-altrow-theme/blob/master/ss/ptw-altrow-theme_example_default.png

`[theme]` extras includes the following themes:

- `pytablewriter-altrow-theme <https://github.com/thombashi/pytablewriter-altrow-theme>`__
    - `Generated HTML table example <https://thombashi.github.io/pytablewriter-altrow-theme/example.html>`__
- `pytablewriter-altcol-theme <https://github.com/thombashi/pytablewriter-altcol-theme>`__
    - `Generated HTML table example <https://thombashi.github.io/pytablewriter-altcol-theme/example.html>`__

Make tables for specific applications
---------------------------------------
Render a table on Jupyter Notebook
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All table writer class instances in ``pytablewriter`` can render in Jupyter Notebook.
To render writers at notebook cells, you will require the dependency packages to be installed either by:

- ``pip install pytablewriter[html]`` or
- ``pip install pytablewriter[all]``

Jupyter Notebook code examples can be found `here <https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/thombashi/pytablewriter/blob/master/examples/ipynb/jupyter_notebook_example.ipynb>`__:

.. figure:: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/thombashi/pytablewriter@master/ss/jupyter_notebook.png

   :alt: https://github.com/thombashi/pytablewriter/blob/master/ss/jupyter_notebook.png

   Table rendering results of Jupyter Notebook

Multibyte character support
-----------------------------
Write a table using multibyte character
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can use multibyte characters as table data.
Multibyte characters are also properly padded and aligned.

:Sample Code:
    .. code-block:: python

        import pytablewriter as ptw


        def main():
            writer = ptw.RstSimpleTableWriter(
                table_name="生成に関するパターン",
                headers=["パターン名", "概要", "GoF", "Code Complete[1]"],
                value_matrix=[
                    ["Abstract Factory", "関連する一連のインスタンスを状況に応じて、適切に生成する方法を提供する。", "Yes", "Yes"],
                    ["Builder", "複合化されたインスタンスの生成過程を隠蔽する。", "Yes", "No"],
                    ["Factory Method", "実際に生成されるインスタンスに依存しない、インスタンスの生成方法を提供する。", "Yes", "Yes"],
                    ["Prototype", "同様のインスタンスを生成するために、原型のインスタンスを複製する。", "Yes", "No"],
                    ["Singleton", "あるクラスについて、インスタンスが単一であることを保証する。", "Yes", "Yes"],
                ],
            )
            writer.write_table()


        if __name__ == "__main__":
            main()

:Output:
    .. figure:: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/thombashi/pytablewriter@master/docs/pages/examples/multibyte/ss/multi_byte_char.png
       :scale: 100%
       :alt: https://github.com/thombashi/pytablewriter/blob/master/docs/pages/examples/multibyte/ss/multi_byte_char.png

       Output of multi-byte character table

Multiprocessing
-----------------
You can increase the number of workers to process table data via ``max_workers`` attribute of a writer.
The more ``max_workers`` the less processing time when tabular data is large and the execution environment has available cores.

If you increase ``max_workers`` larger than one, recommend using main guarded as follows to avoid problems caused by multi-processing:

.. code-block:: python

    from multiprocessing import cpu_count
    import pytablewriter as ptw

    def main():
        writer = ptw.MarkdownTableWriter()
        writer.max_workers = cpu_count()
        ...

    if __name__ == "__main__":
        main()
