Frequently Asked Questions

What does padding to the same width do?

It adds a fill character to each item until they all reach the chosen width, so the list lines up in a tidy column.

What does a width of zero mean?

It tells the tool to use the length of the longest item as the width, so every item is padded to match the longest one.

How is width counted?

By character, the whole visible grapheme, so an emoji or an accented letter counts as one and the column stays aligned.

What if an item is already wider than the width?

It is left as it is, since padding only adds characters and never trims.

Is my list uploaded?

No. The padding runs in your browser and your list never leaves the tab.
