Does anyone know how to include comments in the format section portion of a tbl table? (By "format section", I mean the portion following the ; and preceding the "."). In complex tables, it seems that it would be very handy to be able to include comments in the format section -- such as c l l l l c n n n n \"comment -or- c l l l l .\"comment c n n n n However, when I try these two "obvious" approaches, I get tbl errors. Apparently since tbl is a PREprocessor to troff, the \".* removal has not yet occurred. I can only think of passing the stuff through my own "decommenter" first -- but that is not the most desirable solution ... Thanks for any assistance!
