 can set to a number of lines that should be skipped before starting to read
 data.
 
+The ``export_set()`` method supports a ``column_width`` parameter. Depending on the
+value you pass, the column width will be set accordingly. It can be either ``None``, an integer, or "adaptive".
+If "adaptive" is passed, the column width will be unique for every column and will be 
+calculated based on values' length. For example::
