I would like to know, if there is a standard column width, when I usethe .TS macro? The problem is, that the result of the following code is wrapped text in the second column (independent from MANWIDTH), even if Iuse expand: .TS expand allbox; ll. T{ "0x10000000" T} T{ Disable AGP 4x (forces 8x). T} T{ "0x20000000" T} T{ Disable AGP 8x (forces 4x). T} .TE The second column is always wrapped after 22/23 chars [1]. Is this intended behaviour?
I'm sure there's a formulaic reason for tbl to do the things it does, but I've never gotten curious enough to root around in the source and figure out what it is. :-)
But for short entries like you have in the example table, you could eliminate the T{ T} constructs and get it to work:
.TS expand allbox; l l . "0x10000000" Disable AGP 4x (forces 8x). "0x20000000" Disable AGP 8x (forces 4x). .TEOne thing I have noticed, when you don't use T{ T}, tbl won't wrap even if the row runs off the end of the paper.
