How to get table output in `dnf search`?

One workaround is to use the column command to generate table-like output by specifying “:” as the separator.

dnf search nextcloud | column -t -s ':'

@yuntaz, many thanks. I’ll use that as the basis for a PowerShell module to encapsulate dnf, probably. However, it does break the heading demarcators.

Speaking of readability, have you ever imagined what your nickname would be for those who are visually impaired and rely on screen readers?

@ilikelinux, I speak to an awful lot of foreigners. However, even native English speakers seem to constantly become confused by my name - its order, pronunciation, etcetera. This at least remediates one of these issues. Additionally, because it’s Pandoc Markdown-delimited as <code>, I’ve been able to get it to render correctly in a lot of places, just not Discourse yet.
