Docstring not rendering properly inside table

[theabhirath]

I've been trying to get FeatureRegistries.jl up for Metalhead.jl and I've hit a bit of a snag. While trying to get the docstring to display, it gets cropped out of the table:

Is there a way to format this by toggling an option in the table so that the newlines render at the appropriate places and the entire docstring is visible? Or is this something I will have to tweak in the markdown for the docstring manually?

Cool to see you try this out!

The text rendering is by default limited to 40 characters per column:

FeatureRegistries.jl/src/printing.jl

Lines 125 to 138 in ff0b1b4

	function Base.show(io::IO, registry::Registry)
	tabledata, kwargs = registrytable(registry)
	pretty_table(
	io,
	map(c -> AnsiTextCell(string(RichCell(c))), tabledata);
	backend = Val(:text),
	tf=PrettyTables.tf_borderless,
	hlines=:all,
	vlines=[:begin, :end],
	maximum_columns_width=40,
	vcrop_mode=:middle,
	title_same_width_as_table=true,
	kwargs...)
	end

I should make that configurable and allow passing kwargs for pretty_table to Registry 👍

As an aside, while I love the way the docstring looks inside the table, I wonder if cropping it vertically to allow more rows to display (at least in text display) may make it easier to find entries. You can always see all of a row's attributes using registry[id]. I think this would also require making the text display more configurable on my side, though. I'm keeping this open until I get to that :)

Yeah, it's a great package, the display looks very pretty! The kwargs for pretty_table via Registry should definitely help. I did think about having more rows to display, but I noticed that show(::Registry) shows all the rows. Seeing more rows would definitely not hurt though
