172 .SH DESCRIPTION
173 .
174 The
175 .B hdtbl
176 macros consist of four base and three optional macros, controlled by about
177 twenty arguments.
178 .
179 The syntax is simple and similar to the
180 .B HTML
181 table model and nearly as flexible: You can write sequences of tokens (macro
182 calls with their arguments and content data), separated by blanks and
183 beginning with a macro call, into the same line to get compact and cleanly
184 arrranged input.
185 .
186 An advantage of
187 .B hdtbl
188 is that the tables are constructed without calling a preprocessor; this
189 means that
190 .BR @L_ROFF@ 's
191 full macro capabilities are available.
192 .
193 On the other hand, table processing with
194 .B hdtbl
195 is much slower than using the
196 .BR tbl (@MAN1EXT)
197 preprocessor.
198 .
199 A further advantage is that the HTML-like syntax of
200 .B hdtbl
201 will be easily converted to HTML; this is not implemented yet.
202 .
203 .
204 .SH USAGE
205 .
206 The simplest well-formed table consists of just single calls to the four
207 base table macros in the right order.
208 .
209 Here we construct a table with only one cell.

231 By default, the formatted table is inserted into the surrounding text at the
232 place of its definition.
233 .
234 If the vertical space isn't sufficient, it is placed at the top of the next
235 page.
236 .
237 Tables can also be stored for later insertion.
238 .
239 .PP
240 Using
241 .CIR \[oq]row-number * column-number\[cq]
242 as the data for the table cells, a table with two rows and two columns can
243 be written as

253 .RE
254 .
255 .PP
256 Here we see a difference to HTML tables: The number of columns must be
257 explicitly specified using the
258 .CRI \[oq]cols= m\[cq]
259 argument (or indirectly via the
260 .CR \[oq]width\[cq]
261 argument, see below).
262 .
263 .PP
264 The contents of a table cell is arbitrary; for example, it can be another
265 table, without restriction to the nesting depth.
266 .
267 A given table layout can be either constructed with suitably nested tables
268 or with proper arguments to
269 .CR .TD
270 and
271 .CR .TH\c
272 , controlling column and row spanning.

708 the corresponding default registers or strings, as documented below.

710 Setting an argument with the

712 macro has the same effect as setting it for all rows in the table.
713 .
714 Setting an argument with a

773 As with
774 .BR roff 's
775 .CR .ft
776 request the
777 .CR \[oq]fst\[cq]
778 argument can be used to specify the font family and font style together, for
779 example
780 .CR \[oq]fst=HNBI\[cq]
781 instead of
782 .CR \[oq]ff=HN\[cq]
783 and

796 .CI d2\c
797 , by which the vertical line spacing is changed.

799 If
800 .CI d2
801 is omitted, value

899 .SH HDTBL CUSTOMIZATION
900 .
901 A table which does not fit on a partially filled page is printed
902 automatically on the top of the next page if you append the little
903 utility macro
904 .CR t*hm
905 to the page header macro of your document's main macro package.
906 For example, say
907 .
908 .PP
909 .RS
910 .nf
911 .CR ".am pg@top"
912 .CR ". t*hm"
913 .CR ".."
914 .fi
915 .RE
916 .
917 .PP
918 if you use the
919 .B ms
920 macro package.
921 .
922 .PP
923 .B hdtbl
924 has built-in page header and page footer macros,
925 .B HM
926 and
927 .BR BM .
928 If they interfere with your own header and footer macros, simply
929 say
930 .CR ".rm\ HM"
931 and
932 .CR ".rm\ BM"
933 to remove them.
