I think if you want to write some automation functions, it may be useful to be able to format the output container content.
The following are some reference examples of Docker container formatting and display commands

docker ps --format "{{.ID}}\t{{.Names} }"
#For example, the name and command to execute
docker ps --format "table {{.Names}}: {{.Command}}" --no-trunc
#If there is a table, it will contain the field name
docker ps --filter volume=/data --format "table {{.ID}}\t{{.Mounts}}" --no-trunc
#If Docker swarm mode can also be used
docker service ls --format "table {{.Name}}\t{{.Ports}}"
