This function takes care of converting those custom strings back to the ones expected by tradingview scripts.
Parameters:
styleString (string) : Plain english (or TV Standard) version of the style string

padLabelString(labelText, labelStyle)
Pads a label string so that it appears properly in or not in a label. When label.style_none is used, this will make sure it is left-aligned instead of center-aligned. When any other type is used, it adds a single space to the right so there is padding against the right end of the label.
Parameters:
labelText (string) : The string to be padded
labelStyle (string) : The style of the label being padded for.
Returns: The padded string
plural(num, singular, plural)
Helps format a string for plural/singular. By default, if you only provide num, it will just return "s" for plural and nothing for singular (eg. plural(numberOfCats)).

Parameters:
num (int) : The number of items to find singular/plural for.
