align/justify text in Panel?

[nschloe]

I would like to left/right/center align text in a Panel like

from rich import print
from rich.panel import Panel

message = "\n".join(["x", "xxxxx"])
print(Panel.fit(message))

╭───────╮
│ x     │
│ xxxxx │
╰───────╯

The results I'm looking for are

╭───────╮
│   x   │
│ xxxxx │
╰───────╯
╭───────╮
│     x │
│ xxxxx │
╰───────╯

I've only seen title_align so far. Any hints?

Try this...

from rich.text import Text
message = Text("\n".join(["x", "xxxxx"]), justify = "right")

This gets the alignment right, but escapes the styling:

message = Text("\n".join(["[green]x[/]", "xxxxx"]), justify = "right")                
print(Panel.fit(message))

╭─────────────╮
│ [green]x[/] │
│       xxxxx │
╰─────────────╯

I guess I could just build the text à la

text = Text()
text.append("Hello", style="bold magenta")
text.append(" World!")
console.print(text)

You can use Text.from_markup. See docs on Rich Text, and Console Markup.
