C++ Library for displaying enriched text in an ASCII art box on a console terminal

The libBoxedText library allows to choose each component of the frame in which text is displayed. The global alignment of the text can be specified and the text can be directly read from some file.

The library can deal with some few HTML-like keywords to locally change the formatting of the text.
