[stringtemplate-interest] Controlling the width of a string

Hi,

I've been using string template to help produce various DB reports, easily
changing between csv, xml and simple text formats, just changing my
configuration file.  Cool.

But someone asked if I couldn't make the text formatted reports "prettier",
by better aligning things, particularly numbers.  Is it possible to ask that
a value occupy at least n characters?  (right-justify would also be nice).
Is this not in the spirit of StringTemplate?  If it isn't could someone
clear this up for me?

Thanks,
Russell.
