Great work!
It's tangential to the template itself, but I do have one question about the provided example for the Chars argument. Would each of the variations be provided 43 characters, or is that for all of them added together? Neither seem particularly intuitive to me. In the first case, you'd be incentivised to trim the shared text as short as possible, to allow the larger amount of text in the table to shine. In the latter case, you're left with basically nothing to showcase the variations, and we're essentially back to not really recording most variations again.
