PROGRAM:
NAME
tblcvt - troffcvt preprocessor to convert tbl-format tables
SYNTAX
tblcvt [ file ] ...
DESCRIPTION
tblcvt examines troff input for tables that would normally be processed by the tbl
program, i.e., for lines bracketed by the .TS table start and .TE table end requests.
tblcvt parses table specifications and data and converts it to a form that troffcvt can
more easily handle. This is useful for document processing commands that use troffcvt,
since troffcvt has knowledge only of the troff input language, and knows nothing of the
tbl input language.
tblcvt is a direct replacement for tbl. Suppose you would normally process a document
using tbl and troff (or groff, etc.) like this:
% tbl file ... | troff ...
To format the document using tblcvt and troffcvt, use a command like this:
% tblcvt file ... | troffcvt ...
Actually, it's more likely that you'll be using one of the troffcvt front ends such as
troff2html than that you'll be using troffcvt directly. troffcvt in the preceding command
may be replaced by the name of the front end:
% tblcvt file ... | troff2html ...
If it seems that troffcvt or a front end are not reading the output from tblcvt , specify
- after the option list to explicitly tell them to read the standard input after
processing their other options:
% tblcvt file ... | troffcvt ... -
% tblcvt file ... | troff2html ... -
DIAGNOSTICS
Diagnostic messages are written in this format:
tblcvt:line l (table t, section s): message...
This indicates that a problem was detected at line number l, and that tblcvt considers the
line to be part of table number t and section s within the table. Section numbers start
at one and are incremented for each .T& request that occurs within a table specification.
