Formatting issue in cppcheck manual library config table

[john borland]

If you look at page 31 in the cppcheck manual https://cppcheck.sourceforge.io/manual.pdf There is a table in the library config section that looks like it didn't render as one would of expected.

[john borland]

To me it would be nice if the columns of the table were all parcelable out of the config files. If the formant had a name, short description, full description, and URL filed that might make maintaining the table easier. Also I wrote a short bash script below for getting the number of defines and functions of each config file. I think that information is useful so people can get some idea of how much is in the config files.

   cd ./cppcheck/cfg/
   echo "| Name_of_cfg_file | Num_of_Defines | Num_of_Functions |" > ./output.out.out
   find -type f -name "*.cfg" | xargs -n 1 -P 1 awk 'BEGIN{fnc=0;def=0;} /<define name=/ {def++;} /<function name=/ {fnc++;} END{print "| "FILENAME" | "def" | "fnc" |";}' >> ./output.out.out

   cat ./output.out.out | column -t
   rm ./output.out.out

This is the output from the script
