The script and .exrc macro I send previously should work with vim, vi, nvi, etc. Note that the .exrc macro contains embedded carriage returns. The technique should work for emacs, but obviously the macro will be different. I agree that the more stylish tables are -- well, more stylish. What I posted is exactly the output from "tbl | nroff -Tascii". You can get slightly nicer tables with "tbl | nroff -Tutf8", but ultimately all the styling is controlled by the tmac and font files in the roff library (e.g. /usr/share/groff/<version>/). To customize them you either need to: 1. alter the tmac and font file(s) 2. postprocess the table output (more sed?) 3. use a different markup tool from roff -- David Champion • d...@bikeshed.us
