NAME
- -
- - tbl – format tables for nroff or troff
- -
-

SYNOPSIS
- -
- - tbl [ file ... ]
- -
-

DESCRIPTION
- -
- - Tbl is a preprocessor for formatting tables for nroff or troff(1). - The input files are copied to the standard output, except for - segments of the form
- -
- - .TS -options ; -format . -data
- .T& -format . -data
- . . .
- .TE - - - - -
- which describe tables and are replaced by troff requests to lay - out the tables. If no arguments are given, tbl reads the standard - input. -
- - The (optional) options line is terminated by a semicolon and contains - one or more of
- -
- - center        center the table; default is left-adjust
- expand        make table as wide as current line length
- box - doublebox     enclose the table in a box or double box
- allbox        enclose every item in a box
- tab(x)        use x to separate input items; default is tab
- linesize(n)   set rules in n-point type
- delim(xy)     recognize x and y as eqn(1) delimiters
- -
- - -
- Each line, except the last, of the obligatory format describes - one row of the table. The last line describes all rows until the - next .T&, where the format changes, or the end of the table at - .TE. A format is specified by key letters, one per column, either - upper or lower case:
- -
- - L     Left justify: the default for columns without format keys.
- R     Right justify.
- C     Center.
- N     Numeric: align at decimal point (inferred for integers) or at - \&.
- S     Span: extend previous column across this one.
- A     Alphabetic: left-aligned within column, widest item centered, - indented relative to L rows.
- ^     Vertical span: continue item from previous row into this row.
- −     Draw a horizontal rule in this column.
- =     Draw a double horizontal rule in this column.
- -
- - -
- Key letters may be followed by modifiers, also either case:
- -
- - |      Draw vertical rule between columns.
- ||     Draw a double vertical rule between columns.
- n      Gap between column is n ens wide. Default is 3.
- Ffont   Use specified font. B and I mean FB and FI.
- T      Begin vertically-spanned item at top row of range; default is - vertical centering (with ^).
- Pn     Use point size n.
- Vn     Use n-point vertical spacing in text block; signed n means relative - change.
- W(n)   Column width as a troff width specification. Parens are optional - if n is a simple integer.
- E      Equalize the widths of all columns marked E.
- -
- - -
- Each line of data becomes one row of the table; tabs separate - items. Lines beginning with . are troff requests. Certain special - data items are recognized:
- -
- - _     Draw a horizontal rule in this column.
- =     Draw a double horizontal rule in this column. A data line consisting - of a single _ or = draws the rule across the whole table.
- \_    Draw a rule only as wide as the contents of the column.
- \Rx   Repeat character x across the column.
- \^    Span the previous item in this column down into this row.
- T{    The item is a text block to be separately formatted by troff - and placed in the table. The block continues to the next line - beginning with T}. The remainder of the data line follows at that - point.
- -
- - -
- When it is used in a pipeline with eqn, the tbl command should - be first, to minimize the volume of data passed through pipes.

EXAMPLES
- -
- - Let <tab> represent a tab (which should be typed as a genuine tab).
