- \ demotest sample table
-
- \ Convert three (3) or more adjacent spaces into tab codes.
-
- \ The tab codes we'll use here are pseudo-codes ([tab]). You might wish
- \ to use some typesetting system command, such as "[tb" or even replace
- \ with an ASCII tab character (\09)
-
- \ This table also converts four or more adjacent periods (....) into a
- \ dot-leader code, if typesetting is your bag. Four or more hyphens (----)
- \ or low-line dashes (____) are converted into a horizontal rule command.
-
- \ The following equation says: three spaces equals a tab code, and then
- \ ignore consecutive spaces
-
- \20\20\20=[tab]*ic\20
- ....=[ldr]*ic. \ 4 dots to a leader code, ignore other '.'
- ----=[rule]*ic-_ \ 4 hyphens to a rule, ignore other '-' or '_'
- ____=[rule]*ic-_ \ 4 underlines to a rule, ignore other '-' or '_'
