The correct way to write it is like this:

  .TS
  tab(@);
  l l l.
  address@hidden@3
  address@hidden
  a long text block
  address@hidden
  .TE

If you want to have space before and after the `@' without
influencing the final appearance, you have to add GNU tbl's
`nospaces' keyword:

  .TS
  nospaces, tab(@);
  l l l.
  1 @ 2 @ 3
  1 @ T{
  a long text block
  T}    @ 3
  .TE
