The cells of pipe tables cannot contain block elements like paragraphs
and lists, and cannot span multiple lines.
If a pipe table contains a row whose printable content is wider than the
-column width (see \f[C]\-\-columns\f[]), then the cell contents will
-wrap, with the relative cell widths determined by the widths of the
-separator lines.
-(In this case, the table will take up the full text width.) If no lines
-are wider than column width, then cell contents will not be wrapped, and
-the cells will be sized to their contents.
+column width (see \f[C]\-\-columns\f[]), then the table will take up the
+full text width and the cell contents will wrap, with the relative cell
+widths determined by the number of dashes in the line separating the
+table header from the table body.
+(For example \f[C]\-\-\-|\-\f[] would make the first column 3/4 and the
+second column 1/4 of the full text width.) On the other hand, if no
+lines are wider than column width, then cell contents will not be
+wrapped, and the cells will be sized to their contents.
