See if the gropdf(1) and/or grops(1) pages in groff 1.23.0 get the essential information across; if either one doesn't (independently of the other), please report a bug against groff. > +.sp Just use a paragraphing macro call here, like `.P`. > +.TS > +centre; > +l cB sB cB sB cB sB cB sB cB sB cB sB cB sB cB sB > +l _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ > +nB | n l | n l | n l | n l | n l | n l | n l | n l | > +. > +\& 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 > +\& > +0000 0000 NUL 0001 SOH 0002 STX 0003 ETX 0067 EOT 0055 ENQ 0056 ACK 0057 BEL [...] I guess it's hard to change the tab character for this ultra-wide table since every printable ASCII character is represented in it, and tbl affords no mechanism to escape the tab character. > +.TE > +.IP > +.SB Note: There's no reason to use `SB` (a SunOS extension) anymore since groff 1.22.4 (2018) and mandoc 1.14.2 (2017). .IP .SM .B Note: will work fine.
