Support print_table, print_wrapped, print_in_columns in Thor::Shell::HTML #439
Description
I've got a nice-to-have feature request. No bug or urgent need, but it doens't look hard to implement. I just wanted to make sure Thor::Shell::HTML is deprecated before working on a PR.
I'm not really sure who is using Thor::Shell::HTML or how they use it. I haven't seen much documentation or usage so I realize it might be partially supported.
Having said that, I have come across situations where I'd like a command I'd like to give users the option between text (Thor::Shell::Colored), Markdown or HTML output. This makes a lot of sense for the print_table command, which has:
Text tables (color not shown on GitHub)

</table>If I use the current Thor::Shell::HTML I get HTML colors mixed with ASCII tables, resulting in:
