Hello,

this is interesting. At the moment I am in the need of exactly the 
same thing. So this comes in handy. However I want to have a 
variable parameter list. At maximum I can have up to 10 parameters.
Each parameter opens a new row. If the Parameter is empty the do not 
open a new row.
The following didn't work. Seems I am missing something

.eo
.de ATABLE ..
.TS
allbox tab(;);
cl.
Text1;\$1
.if !'\$2'' Text2;\$2
.TE
...
.ec
.ATABLE A table
.ATABLE Another table abc

The 'Text2;\2' is printed but it is not within the table. It seems 
that the semicolon is not recognized.

Any suggestions.
