In pak: Another Approach to Package Installation

#' Draw a banner-like box in the console
#'
#' @details
#'
#' ## Defaults
#'
#' ```{asciicast box-default}
#' boxx("Hello there!")
#' ```
#'
#' ## Change border style
#'
#' ```{asciicast box-border}
#' boxx("Hello there!", border_style = "double")
#' ```
#'
#' ## Multiple lines
#'
#' ```{asciicast box-lines}
#' boxx(c("Hello", "there!"), padding = 1)
#' ```
#'
#' ## Padding
#'
#' ```{asciicast box-padding}
#' boxx("Hello there!", padding = 1)
#' boxx("Hello there!", padding = c(1, 5, 1, 5))
#' ```
#'
#' ## Floating
#'
#' ```{asciicast box-float}
#' boxx("Hello there!", padding = 1, float = "center")
#' boxx("Hello there!", padding = 1, float = "right")
#' ```
#'
#' ## Text color
#'
#' ```{asciicast box-text-color}
#' boxx(col_cyan("Hello there!"), padding = 1, float = "center")
#' ```
#'
#' ## Background color
#'
#' ```{asciicast box-bg-color}
#' boxx("Hello there!", padding = 1, background_col = "brown")
#' boxx("Hello there!", padding = 1, background_col = bg_red)
#' ```
#'
#' ## Border color
#'
#' ```{asciicast box-border-color}
#' boxx("Hello there!", padding = 1, border_col = "green")
#' boxx("Hello there!", padding = 1, border_col = col_red)
#' ```
#'
#' ## Label alignment
#'
#' ```{asciicast box-label-align}
#' boxx(c("Hi", "there", "you!"), padding = 1, align = "left")
#' boxx(c("Hi", "there", "you!"), padding = 1, align = "center")
#' boxx(c("Hi", "there", "you!"), padding = 1, align = "right")
#' ```
#'
#' ## A very customized box
#'
#' ```{asciicast box-custom}
#' star <- symbol$star
#' label <- c(paste(star, "Hello", star), "  there!")
#' boxx(
#'   col_white(label),
#'   border_style="round",
#'   padding = 1,
#'   float = "center",
#'   border_col = "tomato3",
#'   background_col="darkolivegreen"
#' )
#' ```
#'
#' @param label Label to show, a character vector. Each element will be
#'   in a new line. You can color it using the `col_*`, `bg_*` and
#'   `style_*` functions, see [ANSI styles][ansi-styles] and the examples
#'   below.
#' @param header Text to show on top border of the box. If too long,
#'   it will be cut.
#' @param footer Text to show on the bottom border of the box. If too long,
#'   it will be cut.
#' @param border_style String that specifies the border style.
#'   `list_border_styles` lists all current styles.
#' @param padding Padding within the box. Either an integer vector of
#'   four numbers (bottom, left, top, right), or a single number `x`, which
#'   is interpreted as `c(x, 3*x, x, 3*x)`.
#' @param margin Margin around the box. Either an integer vector of four
#'   numbers (bottom, left, top, right), or a single number `x`, which is
#'   interpreted as `c(x, 3*x, x, 3*x)`.
#' @param float Whether to display the box on the `"left"`, `"center"`, or
#'   the `"right"` of the screen.
#' @param background_col Background color of the inside of the box.
#'   Either a style function (see [ANSI styles][ansi-styles]), or a color
#'   name which will be used in [make_ansi_style()] to create a
#'   *background* style (i.e. `bg = TRUE` is used).
#' @param col Color of text, and default border color. Either a style
#'   function (see [ANSI styles][ansi-styles]) or a color name that is
#'   passed to [make_ansi_style()].
#' @param border_col Color of the border. Either a style function
#'   (see [ANSI styles][ansi-styles]) or a color name that is passed to
#'   [make_ansi_style()].
#' @param align Alignment of the label within the box: `"left"`,
#'   `"center"`, or `"right"`.
#' @param width Width of the screen, defaults to [console_width()].
#'
#' @section About fonts and terminal settings:
#' The boxes might or might not look great in your terminal, depending
#' on the box style you use and the font the terminal uses. We found that
#' the Menlo font looks nice in most terminals an also in Emacs.
#'
#' RStudio currently has a line height greater than one for console output,
#' which makes the boxes ugly.
