Description

It would be great if we could pass a PrintStream to the renderText call so that large tables can be streamed out immediately and to reduce the memory footprint.

Research direction

Start by locating the renderText API and its rendering path in the Kotlin project. Read how rendered tables are currently produced and determine how a PrintStream could be accepted without retaining the full output. Done means large tables can be streamed immediately while preserving existing rendering behavior and reducing memory use.
