I think I learnt this from the list when I asked a few months ago.  See
lines marked `->' and tbl(1).

    $ cat foo.tr
    .TS
    tab(;) allbox;
 -> l rd.
    T{
    Shakespeare was born and brought up in Stratford-upon-Avon.
    At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway,
    with whom he had three children
    T};Text
 -> \^;\^
    .TE
    $ groff -Tascii -t foo.tr 2>/dev/null | grep .
