I have never used hdtbl, and it looks like it can do exactly what I want.
Thank you.
However, when I tried the following, modified from groff_hdtbl(7):
.LP
Something goes here.
.TBL cols=3
. TR .TD 1*1 ".TD rowspan=2" 1+2*2 .TD 1*3
. TR .TD 2*1 .TD 2*3
.ETB
.LP
Something else ends here.
I was surprised by the output:

The table appears *above* the first paragraph. I was expecting it to be
between the two paragraphs. Is there a way to force it to appear between
the two paragraphs?
