# FixedWidthTwoLine

class `astropy.io.ascii.``FixedWidthTwoLine`(position_line=1, position_char='-', delimiter_pad=None, bookend=False)

  Bases: `astropy.io.ascii.FixedWidth`

  Read or write a fixed width table which has two header lines. The first header line defines the column names and the second implicitly defines the column positions. Examples:

      # Typical case with column extent defined by ---- under column names.

       col1    col2         <== header_start = 0
      -----  ------------   <== position_line = 1, position_char = "-"
        1     bee flies     <== data_start = 2
        2     fish swims

      # Pretty-printed table

      +------+------------+
      | Col1 |   Col2     |
      +------+------------+
      |  1.2 | "hello"    |
      |  2.4 | there world|
      +------+------------+

  See the Fixed-width Gallery for specific usage examples.
