I don't see a tbl command on MacOS (or freebsd, except if you
installed groff (or plan9port -- ignore the troff comment!).
Unless you mean replacing the current setup with the output of
equivalent tbl syntax and then checking that in? I tried that.
mandoc doesn't understand tbl output for the simple test i tried.
/usr/local/bin/tbl <<EOF| mandoc -man
.TS
c c c .
This is centered
Well, this also
.TE
EOF
But groff's (& plan9port's) nroff deals with this fine.
