+@Chapter
+    @Title { Tables }
+    @Tag { tables }
+@Begin
+@LP
+This chapter explains how to produce tables like this one:
+tables. @Index { tables }
+@CD @Tbl
+   aindent { ctr }
+   arulebelow { double }
+   aformat { @StartHSpan @Cell @B X | | @HSpan }
+   bformat { @Cell rr { no } @I A | @Cell rl { no } B | @Cell C }
+   rule { yes }
+{
+@Rowa
+   X { Value of mathematical formulae (millions of dollars) }
+@Rowb
+   A { Quadratic formula }
+   B { @Eq { x ^= { minus b +- sqrt { b sup 2 - 4ac } } over 2a } }
+   C { 3^.5 }
+@Rowb
+   A { Binomial theorem }
+   B { @Eq { ( a + b ) sup n ^= big sum from k=0 to infty
+matrix atleft { ( } atright { ) } { n above k } a sup k b sup n-k
+} }
+   C { 12^ }
+}
+As the example shows, the tables may contain spanning columns, aligned
+columns, and rules, and the cells may contain arbitrary objects.
