TBL(1) TBL( 1)
Full details of all these and other features of tbl are given in the tutorial
and technical discussion cited below.
The -TX option forces tbl to use only full vertical line motions, making
the output more suitable for devices that cannot generate partial vertical
line motions (for example, line printers).
If you give no files as arguments, or if you specify - as files , tbl reads the
standard input, so it may be used as a filter. When you use it with
neqn(l), put tbl first to minimize the volume of data passed through
pipes.

the input:
