Hey, thanks for the quick response!

Sorry about my omission, but I did use tab; I guess they were replaced by spaces
after sending the e-mail, however. For instance, if I use tab(@) and replace the
tabs with @, the problem persists with the mom package. I now perceive that the
following error ensues:

$ groff -Tpdf -t -mom exemplo-minimo-mom.mom > exemplo-minimo-mom.pdf
troff: exemplo-minimo-mom.mom:2: can't transparently output node at top level
warning: file 'exemplo-minimo-mom.mom', around line 13:
  table wider than line width

$ pdfmom -t exemplo-minimo-mom.mom > exemplo-minimo-mom.pdf
troff: exemplo-minimo-mom.mom:2: can't transparently output node at top level
warning: file 'exemplo-minimo-mom.mom', around line 13:
  table wider than line width

even though I expected T{ T} to handle this. https://www.troff.org/faq.html
has an image illustrating what I expected, whereas the table currently just
runs off to the right of the page unless I don't use the mom package.

Best regards,
Bento
