Re: Using tbl(1) for structure definitions

[Alejandro Colomar]

Improved an v2 using T{...T} in combination with column modifiers and 
removing .nf/.fi for the table, fixing a misplaced .PD, and .BR instead 
of \fB...\fP:


    open_how.2type: ffix

    Format structures with tbl(1) to improve alignment in 
proportional-width font text.
