There's something like that buried in my bazaar package, maybe it's sufficient for your needs: https://github.com/Metaxal/bazaar/blob/master/text-table.rkt
The main submodule prints the examples. It provides two ways to output tables. The first one 'table->string' is the simplest one and the example outputs: a │ b │ c │ d │ e │ f │ g │ h —————————————————————————————————————————————————— 123 │ 456 │ 77 │ 54 │ 1 │ 5646547987 │ 41 │ 1 —————————————————————————————————————————————————— 111 │ 22 │ 3333 │ 44 │ 5 │ 6 │ 7 │ 8888 The second one is more tweakable but more complicated and the example produces: ╔════╦╦════════╦════╗ ║i ║║f1 ║f2 ║ ╠════╬╬════════╬════╣ ╠════╬╬════════╬════╣ ║a ║║b ║c ║ ╠════╬╬════════╬════╣ ║x ║║y ║z ║ ╚════╩╩════════╩════╝ If I had time I would merge the two and make it both simple and tweakable...
