Description

It would be really nice to be able to include a subtitle as well. This would be rendered on the bottom border. It could be configured exactly the same as the title.

Example:

┌ species ───────┐
│                │
│ jawa ewok hutt │
│                │
└ (four letters) ┘

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing title option implementation and replicate similar logic for subtitle. Modify the box drawing functions to accept and render a subtitle string on the bottom border.
