Pad

padMicronode

Widens text to a fixed length by repeating a filler character. Folded at compile time: the result is spliced into the surrounding text as characters, so no node reaches the renderer and the number cannot be re-formatted, animated or bound to afterwards. Text already at or beyond the length is unchanged.
