Hmm, well, I *do* get the error message tbl:<standard input>:2: unrecognised format `o' tbl:<standard input>:2: giving up on this table if I leave out the two format descriptor lines. If I put them in, everything is okay. > To the best of my understanding, though, the original `tbl(1)` markup > <https://github.com/Alhadis/.files/blob/master/share/man/man5/textmate.5#L368-L492> > I authored *was* valid. Yes, it appears to be (since it doesn't throw the error), but it does contain the format descriptors. On the other hand, I found some other syntax errors: line 10: \\rq instead of \(rq line 350: \<* and \>* instead of \*< and \*> line 178: unknown macro XR (did you mean SX?)
