-## Write the matrix @var{a} to the text @var{file} using delimiters.
+## The parameter @var{delim} specifies the delimiter to use to separate
+## values on a row.
 ##
-## @table @var
-## @item delim
-## the delimiter to use to separate values on a row
+## The value of @var{r} specifies the number of delimiter-only lines to
+## add to the start of the file.
 ##
-## @item r
-## the number of delimiter-only lines to add to the start of the file
+## The value of @var{c} specifies the number of delimiters to prepend to

 ##
-## @item c
-## the number of delimiters to prepend to each line of data.
+## If the argument @code{"-append"} is given, append to the end of the

 ##
-## @item "-append"
-## append to the end of the @var{file}.
-##
-## @item "append", state
+## In addition, the following keyword value pairs may appear at the end
+## of the argument list:
+## @table @code
+## @item "append"
 ## Either @samp{"on"} or @samp{"off"}.  See @samp{"-append"} above.

-## @item "delimiter", d
+## @item "delimiter"
 ## See @var{delim} above.
 ##
-## @item "newline", os
+## @item "newline"
 ## The character(s) to use to separate each row.  Three special cases
 ## exist for this option.  @samp{"unix"} is changed into '\n',
 ## @samp{"pc"} is changed into '\r\n', and @samp{"mac"} is changed
 ## into '\r'.  Other values for this option are kept as is.

 ##
-## @item "precision", p
+## @item "precision"
 ## The precision to use when writing the file.  It can either be a
 ## format string (as used by fprintf) or a number of significant digits.
