.sp 1i
.ie n .nr w1 2i

And I would add to this that 'tbl' does not interpret troff requests
(if it sees any in the 'tbl' contents, after the initial formatting
setup, then it simply passes them through to the next link in the chain).
In fact, what 'tbl' does not like in Anton's attempt at .ie/.el is
the fact that it int

The issue is that tbl processes the entire file before groff sees it.
The data follow is typically

I want to make a document that can give good
ascii and Postscript results. I found that I need
to adjust the formating of tables. I'm trying to
to this with .ie/.el like this:
10 .TS H
11 expand,center;
12 .ie t lw(0.5i) lw(0.01i) lw(0.5i) lw(2.5i) lw(1.4i).
13 .el lw(1i) lw(0.
