<p><code>@table</code> is similar to <code>@itemize</code>
(see <a href="_0040itemize.html"><code>@itemize</code></a>), but allows you to specify a name or
heading line for each item. The <code>@table</code> command is used to
produce two-column tables, and is especially useful for glossaries,
explanatory exhibits, and command-line option summaries.
