-Bullet lists are respected, so bullet that are fed will remain in the
-output. Already ranked lists can be inserted; the previous
-ranking is ignored. Empty lines are ignored.
+Bullet lists, numbered item lists and piped tables are all respected.
+That means that bullets which are fed will remain in the output. The
+numbering is regenerated, starting from 1. List patterns are preserved
+at best effort, the widest input number is used for pattern
+definition, and output is adopted for right alignment. Piped tables
+are similarly regenerated.
 
-The same holds for numbered item lists. The numbering is regenerated,
-starting from 1. The list pattern is however preserved at best effort,
-the widest input number is used for pattern definition, and output
-is adopted for right alignment.
+Also already ranked lists can be inserted; the previous ranking is
+ignored. Empty lines are ignored.
 
 Example:
 
 ```
-echo -ne "\n * 48 %	Första post\n *  9 %	Och fjärde\n * 16 %	Tredje plats\n * 27 %	Andra\n" \
-    | ranknauto
-echo -ne "\n 3) 48 %	Första post\n 4)  9 %	Och fjärde\n 5) 16 %	Tredje plats\n 6) 27 %	Andra\n" \
-    | ranknauto
+cat <<EOF | ranknauto

+ * 16 %	Tredje plats
