How about this middle paragraph, with the other two unaltered ones for
context.
The line immediately following the .TS token may specify region options:
keywords that influence the interpretation or rendering of the region as
a whole or all table entries within it indiscriminately.
Options are separated by spaces, tabs, or commas and their case does not
matter, though AT&T tbl requires each option to be a single case.
Some of these options require a parenthesized argument; those that do
permit spaces and tabs between the option’s name and the opening
parenthesis.
