- This manual page describes the GNU version of ttttbbbbllll, which is
- part of the groff document formatting system. ttttbbbbllll compiles
- descriptions of tables embedded within ttttrrrrooooffffffff input files
- into commands that are understood by ttttrrrrooooffffffff. Normally, it
- should be invoked using the ----tttt option of ggggrrrrooooffffffff.... It is highly
- compatible with Unix ttttbbbbllll. The output generated by GNU ttttbbbbllll
- cannot be processed with Unix ttttrrrrooooffffffff; it must be processed
- with GNU ttttrrrrooooffffffff. If no files are given on the command line,
- the standard input will be read. A filename of ---- will cause
- the standard input to be read.
-
- OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
- ----CCCC Recognize ....TTTTSSSS and ....TTTTEEEE even when followed by a character
- other than space or newline.
-
- ----vvvv Print the version number.
-
- UUUUSSSSAAAAGGGGEEEE
- Only the differences between GNU ttttbbbbllll and Unix ttttbbbbllll are
- described here.
-
- Normally ttttbbbbllll attempts to prevent undesirable breaks in the
- table by using diversions. This can sometimes interact
- badly with macro packages' own use of diversions, when
- footnotes, for example, are used. The nnnnooookkkkeeeeeeeepppp option tells
- ttttbbbbllll not to try and prevent breaks in this way.
-
- The ddddeeeecccciiiimmmmaaaallllppppooooiiiinnnntttt option specifies the character to be
- recognized as the decimal point character in place of the
- default period. It takes an argument in parentheses, which
- must be a single character, as for the ttttaaaabbbb option.
-
- The ffff format modifier can be followed by an arbitrary length
- font name in parentheses.
-
- There is a dddd format modifier which means that a vertically
- spanning entry should be aligned at the bottom of its range.
-
- There is no limit on the number of columns in a table, nor
- any limit on the number of text blocks. All the lines of a
- table are considered in deciding column widths, not just the
- first 200. Table continuation (....TTTT&&&&) lines are not
- restricted to the first 200 lines.
-
- Numeric and alphabetic items may appear in the same column.

-
-
-
- Numeric and alphabetic items may span horizontally.
-
- ttttbbbbllll uses register, string, macro and diversion names
- beginning with 3333. When using ttttbbbbllll you should avoid using any
- names beginning with a 3333.
-
- BBBBUUUUGGGGSSSS
- You should use ....TTTTSSSS HHHH/....TTTTHHHH in conjunction with a supporting
- macro package for _a_l_l multi-page boxed tables. If there is
- no header that you wish to appear at the top of each page of
- the table, place the ....TTTTHHHH line immediately after the format
- section. Do not enclose a multi-page table within
- keep/release macros, or divert it in any other way.
-
- A text block within a table must be able to fit on one page.
-
- The bbbbpppp request cannot be used to force a page-break in a
- multi-page table. Instead, define BBBBPPPP as follows
-
- ....ddddeeee BBBBPPPP
- ....iiiieeee ''''\\\\\\\\nnnn((((....zzzz'''''''' ....bbbbpppp \\\\\\\\$$$$1111
- ....eeeellll \\\\!!!!....BBBBPPPP \\\\\\\\$$$$1111
- ........
-
- and use BBBBPPPP instead of bbbbpppp.
