-.SH NAME
-tbl \- format tables for nroff or troff
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B tbl
-[
-.I file ...
-]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.I Tbl
-is a preprocessor for formatting tables for
-.I nroff
-or
-.IR troff (1).
-The input files are copied to the standard output,
-except for segments of the form
-.IP
-.nf
-.B .TS
-.IB options " ;
-.IB format " .
-.I data
-.B .T&
-.IB format " .
-.I data
-\&. . .
-.B .TE
-.fi
-.LP
-which describe tables
-and are replaced by
-.I troff
-requests to lay out the tables.
-If no arguments are given,
-.I tbl
-reads the standard input.
-.PP
-The (optional)
-.I options
-line is terminated by a semicolon and contains one or more
-of
-.RS
-.TF linesize(n)
-.TP
-.B center
-center the table; default is left-adjust
-.TP
-.B expand
-make table as wide as current line length
-.TP
-.B box
-.TP
-.B doublebox
-enclose the table in a box or double box
-.TP
-.B allbox
-enclose every item in a box
-.TP
-.BI tab( x )
-use
-.I x
-to separate input items; default is tab
-.TP
-.BI linesize( n )
-set rules in
-.IR n -point
-type
-.TP
-.BI delim( xy )
-recognize
-.I x
-and
-.I y
-as
-.IR eqn (1)
-delimiters
-.PD
-.RE
-.PP
-Each line, except the last, of the obligatory
-.I format
-describes one row of the table.
-The last line describes all rows until the next
-.BR .T& ,
-where the format changes,
-or the end of the table at
-.BR .TE .
-A format is specified by key letters, one per column, upper or
-lower case
-.RS
-.TP 0
-.B L
-Left justify: the default for
-columns without format keys.
-.PD0
-.TP
-.B R
-Right justify.
-.TP
-.B C
-Center.
-.TP
-.B N
-Numeric: align at decimal point (inferred for integers) or at
-.LR \e& .
-.TP
-.B S
-Span: extend previous column across this one.
-.TP
-.B A
-Alphabetic: left-aligned within column, widest item centered, indented relative to
-.B L
-rows.
-.TP
-.B ^
-Vertical span: continue item from previous row into this row.
-.TP
-.B -
-Draw a horizontal rule in this column.
-.TP
-.B _
-Draw a double horizontal rule in this column.
-.PD
-.RE
-.PP
-Key letters may be followed by modifiers, also either case:
-.RS
-.TP
-.B |
-Draw vertical rule between columns.
-.PD0
-.TP
-.B ||
-Draw a double vertical rule between columns.
-.TP
-.I n
-Gap between column is
-.I n
-ens wide.
-Default is 3.
-.TP
-.BI F font
-Use specified
-.I font.
-.B B
-and
-.B I
-mean
-.B FB
-and
-.BR FI .
-.TP
-.B T
-Begin vertically-spanned item at top row of range; default is
-vertical centering (with
-.LR ^ ).
-.TP
-.BI P n
-Use point size
-.I n.
-.TP
-.BI V n
-Use
-.IR n -point
-vertical spacing in text block; signed
-.I n
-means relative change.
-.TP
-.BI W( n )
-Column width as a
-.I troff
-width specification.
-Parens are optional if
-.I n
-is a simple integer.
-.TP
-.B E
-Equalize the widths of all columns marked
-.BR E .
-.PD
-.RE
-.PP
-Each line of
-.I data
-becomes one row of the table; tabs separate items.
-Lines beginning with
-.L .
-are
-.I troff
-requests.
-Certain special data items are recognized:
-.RS
-.TP
-.B _
-Draw a horizontal rule in this column.
-.PD0
-.TP
-.B =
-Draw a double horizontal rule in this column.
-A data line consisting of a single
-.L _
-or
-.L =
-draws the rule across the whole table.
-.TP
-.B \e_
-Draw a rule only as wide as the contents of the column.
-.TP
-.BI \eR x
-Repeat character
-.I x
-across the column.
-.TP
-.B \e^
-Span the previous item in this column down into this row.
-.TP
-.B T{
-The item is a text block to be separately formatted
-by
-.I troff
-and placed in the table.
-The block continues to the next line beginning with
-.BR T} .
-The remainder of the data line follows at that point.
-.PD
-.RE
-.PP
-When it is used in a pipeline with
-.I eqn,
-the
-.I tbl
-command should be first, to minimize the volume
-of data passed through
-pipes.
