-HTML tables.
-.IP "\fBcvs\fR"
-Comma-separated values as defined in RFC 4180.
-.IP "\fBjson\fR"

-objects, each of which corresponds to one table. Each JSON object has
-the following members with the noted values:
-.RS
-.IP "\fBcaption\fR"
-The table's caption. This member is omitted if the table has no
-caption.
-.IP "\fBheadings\fR"
-An array with one element per table column. Each array element is a
-string giving the corresponding column's heading.
-.IP "\fBdata\fR"
-An array with one element per table row. Each element is also an
-array with one element per table column. The elements of this
-second-level array are the cells that constitute the table. Cells
-that represent OVSDB data or data types are expressed in the format
-described in the OVSDB specification; other cells are simply expressed
-as text strings.

-This option suppresses the heading row that otherwise appears in the
-first row of table output.
-.
-.IP "\fB\-\-pretty\fR"

-fashion. Members of objects and elements of arrays are printed one
-per line, with indentation.

-This option does not affect JSON in tables, which is always printed
-compactly.
