+### Format: Padding
+Padding can be specified in the following format:
+
+```
+"L <left padding string>"
+"R <right padding string>"
+"1 <first line left padding string>"
+"* <regular line left padding string>"
+"1R <first line right padding string>"
+"*R <regular line right padding string>"
+```
+
+With a `\n` to separate multiple statements. Example:
+
+```
+"1L   - \nR $\n*L     "
+```
+
+Here every line will have `$` as a right padding. The first line will start with `"  - "` and follow-up lines will start with `"    "`.
