DDDDEEEESSSSCCCCRRRRIIIIPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN
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.
