{{Function
|name=textutils.pagedTabulate
|args= [[table (type)|table]] table1, [[table (type)|table]] table2, ...
|returns=Nothing.
|api=textutils
|addon=ComputerCraft
|desc=Prints tables in an ordered form. Each table is a row, each column's width is auto-adjusted for consistency between rows. Unlike [[Textutils.tabulate|textutils.tabulate()]], if scrolling is required in order to fit the whole of the output onto the display this function will throw up a "Press any key to continue" prompt at the bottom - each press will cause it to scroll down and write a single line more (before prompting again, if need be).
|examples=
{{Example
|desc=Prints a lengthy table.
|code=local myTable = {}
for i=1,600 do myTable[i] = i end
textutils.pagedTabulate(myTable)
|output=Prints a lengthy list of numerals, but prompts the user to "Press any key to continue" before scrolling the top of the list outside of the display.
