And is it really helpful to have tables in the man page? What's
the benefit of
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
| Formatting Directive | Description |

|%l, %c & %r | Insert the next item |

over
%l, %c, %r
Insert the next item label. Up to three labels can be
used. The item column is left-aligned (%l), centered
(%c) or right-aligned (%r).
%i
Inserts the mini icon.
I find the table harder to read, but t's easier to find an entry
you are looking for. It is also very uncommon to have man pages
with ASCII tables.
