My user opinion is that letting a postprocessor

As a *roff user since the mid-1970s I am all too aware that to be
good at this you have to know and _understand_ a lot of details

The other day I was thinking of creating, as a first step, a set of

I'm writing to flag up a little trap that one might
fall into when using 'tbl'.
Background: I'm setting up a table and I want each
