User Commands tbl(1)
NAME
tbl - format tables for nroff or troff
SYNOPSIS
tbl [-me] [-mm] [-ms] [filename]...
DESCRIPTION
tbl is a preprocessor for formatting tables for nroff(1) or
troff(1). The input filenames are copied to the standard
output, except that lines between .TS and .TE command lines
are assumed to describe tables and are reformatted.
If no arguments are given, tbl reads the standard input, so
tbl may be used as a filter. When tbl is used with eqn(1)
or neqn, the tbl command should be first, to minimize the
volume of data passed through pipes.
OPTIONS
-me Copy the -me macro package to the front of the out-
put file.
-mm Copy the -mm macro package to the front of the out-
put file.
-ms Copy the -ms macro package to the front of the out-
put file.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Using tbl
As an example, letting `@' (at-sign) represent a TAB, which
should be typed as an actual TAB character in the input file
