+DESCRIPTION
+    Many programs generate tabular output. But sometimes you need to
+    post-process these tables, you may need to remove one or more columns or
+    you may want to filter for some pattern (See PATTERNS) or you may need
+    the output in another program and need to parse it somehow. Standard
+    unix tools such as awk(1), grep(1) or column(1) may help, but sometimes
+    it's a tedious business.
+
+    Let's take the output of the tool kubectl. It contains cells with
+    withespace and they do not separate columns by TAB characters. This is
+    not easy to process.
+
+    You can use tablizer to do these and more things.
+
+    tablizer analyses the header fiels of a table, registers the column
+    positions of each header field and separates columns by those positions.
+
+    Without any options it reads its input from "STDIN", but you can also
+    specify a file as a parameter. If you want to reduce the output by some
+    regular expression, just specify it as its first parameter. You may also
+    use the -v option to exclude all rows which match the pattern. Hence:
+
+       # read from STDIN
+       kubectl get pods | tablizer
+
+       # read a file
+       tablizer filename
+
+       # search for pattern in a file (works like grep)
+       tablizer regex filename
+
+       # search for pattern in STDIN
+       kubectl get pods | tablizer regex
+
+    The output looks like the original one but every header field will have
+    a numer associated with it, e.g.:
+
+       NAME(1) READY(2) STATUS(3) RESTARTS(4) AGE(5)
+
+    These numbers denote the column and you can use them to specify which
+    columns you want to have in your output:
+
+       kubectl get pods | tablizer -c1,3
+
+    You can specify the numbers in any order but output will always follow
+    the original order.
+
+    The numbering can be suppressed by using the -n option.
+
+    By default, if a pattern has been speficied, matches will be
+    highlighted. You can disable this behavior with the -N option.
+
+    Finally the -d option enables debugging output which is mostly usefull
+    for the developer.
+
+  PATTERNS
+    You can reduce the rows being displayed by using a regular expression
+    pattern. The regexp is PCRE compatible, refer to the syntax cheat sheet
+    here: <https://github.com/google/re2/wiki/Syntax>. If you want to read a
+    more comprehensive documentation about the topic and have perl installed
+    you can read it with:
+
+        perldoc perlre
+
+    Or read it online: <https://perldoc.perl.org/perlre>.
+
+    A note on modifiers: the regexp engine used in tablizer uses another
+    modifier syntax:
+
+        (?MODIFIER)
+
+    The most important modifiers are:
+
+    "i" ignore case "m" multiline mode "s" single line mode
+
+    Example for a case insensitve search:
+
+        kubectl get pods -A | tablizer "(?i)account"
+
+  OUTPUT MODES
+    There might be cases when the tabular output of a program is way too
+    large for your current terminal but you still need to see every column.
+    In such cases the -o extended or -X option can be usefull which enables
+    *extended mode*. In this mode, each row will be printed vertically,
+    header left, value right, aligned by the field widths. Here's an
+    example:
+
+        kubectl get pods | ./tablizer -o extended
+            NAME: repldepl-7bcd8d5b64-7zq4l  
+           READY: 1/1    
+          STATUS: Running  
+        RESTARTS: 1 (71m ago)  
+             AGE: 5h28m
+
+    You can of course still use a regex to reduce the number of rows
+    displayed.
+
+    The option -o shell can be used if the output has to be processed by the
+    shell, it prints variable assignments for each cell, one line per row:
+
+        kubectl get pods | ./tablizer -o extended ./tablizer -o shell
+        NAME="repldepl-7bcd8d5b64-7zq4l" READY="1/1" STATUS="Running" RESTARTS="9 (47m ago)" AGE="4d23h" 
+        NAME="repldepl-7bcd8d5b64-m48n8" READY="1/1" STATUS="Running" RESTARTS="9 (47m ago)" AGE="4d23h" 
+        NAME="repldepl-7bcd8d5b64-q2bf4" READY="1/1" STATUS="Running" RESTARTS="9 (47m ago)" AGE="4d23h"
+
+    You can use this in an eval loop.
+
+    Beside normal ascii mode (the default) and extended mode there are more
+    output modes available: orgtbl which prints an Emacs org-mode table and
+    markdown which prints a Markdown table.

+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+Many  programs generate  tabular output.   But sometimes  you need  to
+post-process these tables, you may need  to remove one or more columns
+or you  may want to filter  for some pattern (See  \s-1PATTERNS\s0) or you
+may need the  output in another program and need  to parse it somehow.
+Standard unix tools such as \fBawk\fR\|(1), \fBgrep\fR\|(1) or \fBcolumn\fR\|(1) may help, but
+sometimes it's a tedious business.
+.PP
+Let's take  the output of  the tool  kubectl.  It contains  cells with
+withespace and they do not separate columns by \s-1TAB\s0 characters. This is
+not easy to process.
+.PP
+You can use \fBtablizer\fR to do these and more things.
+.PP
+\&\fBtablizer\fR analyses the header fiels of a table, registers the column
+positions  of  each  header  field  and  separates  columns  by  those
+positions.
+.PP
+Without any options it reads its input from \f(CW\*(C`STDIN\*(C'\fR, but you can also
+specify a  file as a  parameter. If you want  to reduce the  output by
+some regular expression,  just specify it as its  first parameter. You
+may also  use the  \fB\-v\fR option  to exclude all  rows which  match the
+pattern. Hence:
+.PP
+.Vb 2
+\&   # read from STDIN
+\&   kubectl get pods | tablizer
+\&
+\&   # read a file
+\&   tablizer filename
+\&
+\&   # search for pattern in a file (works like grep)
+\&   tablizer regex filename
+\&
+\&   # search for pattern in STDIN
+\&   kubectl get pods | tablizer regex
+.Ve
+.PP
+The output  looks like the  original one  but every header  field will
+have a numer associated with it, e.g.:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\&   NAME(1) READY(2) STATUS(3) RESTARTS(4) AGE(5)
+.Ve
+.PP
+These numbers denote the column and  you can use them to specify which
+columns you want to have in your output:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\&   kubectl get pods | tablizer \-c1,3
+.Ve
+.PP
+You can specify the numbers in any order but output will always follow
+the original order.
+.PP
+The numbering can be suppressed by using the \fB\-n\fR option.
+.PP
+By  default, if  a  \fBpattern\fR  has been  speficied,  matches will  be
+highlighted. You can disable this behavior with the \fB\-N\fR option.
+.PP
+Finally the  \fB\-d\fR option  enables debugging  output which  is mostly
+usefull for the developer.
+.SS "\s-1PATTERNS\s0"
+.IX Subsection "PATTERNS"
+You can reduce the rows being  displayed by using a regular expression
+pattern.  The  regexp is  \s-1PCRE\s0 compatible, refer  to the  syntax cheat
+sheet here: <https://github.com/google/re2/wiki/Syntax>.  If you want
+to read  a more comprehensive  documentation about the topic  and have
+perl installed you can read it with:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\&    perldoc perlre
+.Ve
+.PP
+Or read it online: <https://perldoc.perl.org/perlre>.
+.PP
+A note on  modifiers: the regexp engine used in  tablizer uses another
+modifier syntax:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\&    (?MODIFIER)
+.Ve
+.PP
+The most important modifiers are:
+.PP
+\&\f(CW\*(C`i\*(C'\fR ignore case
+\&\f(CW\*(C`m\*(C'\fR multiline mode
+\&\f(CW\*(C`s\*(C'\fR single line mode
+.PP
+Example for a case insensitve search:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\&    kubectl get pods \-A | tablizer "(?i)account"
+.Ve
+.SS "\s-1OUTPUT MODES\s0"
+.IX Subsection "OUTPUT MODES"
+There might be cases  when the tabular output of a  program is way too
+large  for your  current  terminal but  you still  need  to see  every
+column.   In such  cases the  \fB\-o extended\fR  or \fB\-X\fR  option can  be
+usefull which enables \fIextended mode\fR. In this mode, each row will be
+printed vertically,  header left,  value right,  aligned by  the field
+widths. Here's an example:

+You can reduce the rows being  displayed by using a regular expression
+pattern.  The  regexp is  PCRE compatible, refer  to the  syntax cheat
+sheet here: L<https://github.com/google/re2/wiki/Syntax>.  If you want
+to read  a more comprehensive  documentation about the topic  and have
+perl installed you can read it with:
+
+    perldoc perlre
+
+Or read it online: L<https://perldoc.perl.org/perlre>.
+
+A note on  modifiers: the regexp engine used in  tablizer uses another
+modifier syntax:
+
+    (?MODIFIER)
+
+The most important modifiers are:
+
+C<i> ignore case
+C<m> multiline mode
+C<s> single line mode
+
+Example for a case insensitve search:
+
+    kubectl get pods -A | tablizer "(?i)account"

 There might be cases  when the tabular output of a  program is way too
 large  for your  current  terminal but  you still  need  to see  every
