Multi-line text within a cell does not format well with _outline formatting

I am working on printing output that sometimes have multiline entries in a cell. I like the *_outline tblfmt’s and am wondering if the format can be adapted to fix formatting with multilines

tabulate version 0.9.0

Code

import tabulate as tb
from tabulate import tabulate
print(tb.__version__)
header = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D']
row1 = [
    '1', '2', '3', '4'
]

row2 = [
    '5', '6', '7', '8\n88'
]

row3 = [
    '9', '10', '11', '12'
]
table_body = []
table_body.append(row1)
table_body.append(row2)
table_body.append(row3)
print(tabulate(table_body, headers=header))
print(tabulate(table_body, headers=header, tablefmt='pretty'))
print(tabulate(table_body, headers=header, tablefmt='simple_outline'))
print(tabulate(table_body, headers=header, tablefmt='rounded_outline'))

Output:

The file you downloaded is the right one. Can you check the help of tabulate once you’ve imported it?

>>> help(tabulate)
Help on function tabulate in module MyPackages.tabulate:

tabulate(tabular_data, headers=(), tablefmt='simple', floatfmt='g', intfmt='', numalign='default', stralign='default', missingval='', showindex='default', disable_numparse=False, colglobalalign=None, colalign=None, maxcolwidths=None, headersglobalalign=None, headersalign=None, rowalign=None, maxheadercolwidths=None)

Just to be sure you imported from the right file.

OK, so that worked. This line from your output gave me the idea on how to do it. >>> from MyPackages.tabulate import tabulate

Thank you, that PR does fix the issue.
