NAME
       tbl - format tables for nroff or troff

SYNOPSIS
       tbl [ files ] ...

DESCRIPTION
       Tbl is a preprocessor for formatting tables for nroff or troff(1).  The
       input files are copied to the standard output, except for lines between
       .TS  and	 .TE  command  lines, which are assumed to describe tables and
       reformatted.  Details are given in the reference manual.

       As an example, letting \t represent a tab (which should be typed	 as  a
       genuine tab) the input

	      .TS
	      c s s
	      c c s
	      c c c
	      l n n.

	      Far Hills\t240\t3.19
	      .TE

       yields

       If  no  arguments are given, tbl reads the standard input, so it may be
       used as a filter.  When it is used with eqn or  neqn  the  tbl  command
       should be first, to minimize the volume of data passed through pipes.
