Functions
- padLeft (text, len[, char=" "])
-
Pad text to the left so it has a minimum size of the given length.
Parameters:

The centering is right-leaning. That is if dividing the target in half gives
a fractional result, the number of padding on the left is the ceil of that number.

Returns:
-
string
The padded text
