Package is here: Emacs Lisp: rcd-box.el package for table drawings: https://hyperscope.link/7/3/9/8/1/Emacs-Lisp-rcd-box-el-package-for-table-drawings-73981.html Basic function: (rcd-box-table '(("My text"))) ⇒ " ╔═════════╗ ║ My text ║ ╚═════════╝ " If you wish to make it simpler: (defun rcd-box-text (text) (rcd-box-table (list (list text)))) (rcd-box-text "Hello") ⇒ " ╔═══════╗ ║ Hello ║ ╚═══════╝ " ;; Available box drawing types: DOUBLE, HEAVY, LIGHT That means you can do: (rcd-box-table '(("My text")) nil "center" "double") ⇒ " ╔═════════╗ ║ My text ║ ╚═════════╝ " (rcd-box-table '(("My text")) nil "center" "heavy") ⇒ " ┏━━━━━━━━━┓ ┃ My text ┃ ┗━━━━━━━━━┛ " (rcd-box-table '(("My text")) nil "center" "light") ⇒ " ┌─────────┐ │ My text │ └─────────┘ " and then you can add it to simpler function like: (defun rcd-box-text (text &optional type) (rcd-box-table (list (list text)) nil "center" type)) (rcd-box-text "And now good bye to all" "heavy") ⇒ " ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ ┃ And now good bye to all ┃ ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ " -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
