This is default.

This is emph(asized).

This is strong.

This is verb(atim).

Here is a carriage return inside a spanx element.

3. Tables

The list of valid keywords are:

keyword default meaning not aligned
strict no try to enforce the ID-nits conventions and DTD validity a
iprnotified no include boilerplate from Section 10.4(d) of [RFC2026] bb bb
compact no when producing a txt/nroff file, try to conserve vertical whitespace ccc ccc ccc
subcompact compact if compact is "yes", then setting this to "no" will make things a little less compact dddd dddd dddd dddd
needLines n/a an integer hint indicating how many contiguous lines are needed at this point in the output eeeee eeeee eeeee eeeee eeeee
here come empty cells

Remember, that as with everything else in XML, keywords and values are case-sensitive.

3.1. no borders

The table below should appear with no borders.

Table 1: a table with no borders
C1 C2
11 12
21 22

3.2. borders around headers

The table below should appear with borders just around the headers.

C1 C2
11 12
21 22

3.3. example from xml2rc README

So, putting it all together, we have, e.g.,

Table 2
ttcol #1 ttcol #2
c #1 c #2
c #3 c #4
c #5 c #6

which is a very simple example.

3.4. no column titles

The table below should appear with no titles.

Table 3: a table with no column titles
11 12
21 22

The table below should appear with column titles (one being non-empty).

Table 4: a table with a single column title
