        Note that there are different conventions for characters occuring below the
        position of the ``|`` symbol in IPAC tables. By default, any character
        below a ``|`` will be ignored (since this is the current standard),
        but if you need to read files that assume characters below the ``|``
        symbols belong to the column before or after the ``|``, you can specify
        ``definition='left'`` or ``definition='right'`` respectively when reading
        the table (the default is ``definition='ignore'``). The following examples
        demonstrate the different conventions:

        * ``definition='ignore'``::

            |   ra  |  dec  |
            | float | float |
              1.2345  6.7890

        * ``definition='left'``::

            |   ra  |  dec  |
            | float | float |
               1.2345  6.7890

        * ``definition='right'``::

            |   ra  |  dec  |
            | float | float |
            1.2345  6.7890

        IPAC tables can specify a null value in the header that is shown in place
        of missing or bad data. On writing, this value defaults to ``null``.
        To specify a different null value, use the ``fill_values`` option to
        replace masked values with a string or number of your choice as
        described in :ref:`io_ascii_write_parameters`::

            >>> from astropy.io.ascii import masked
            >>> fill = [(masked, 'N/A', 'ra'), (masked, -999, 'sptype')]
            >>> ascii.write(data, format='ipac', fill_values=fill)

        Parameters
        ----------
        definition : str, optional
            Specify the convention for characters in the data table that occur
            directly below the pipe (``|``) symbol in the header column definition:

              * 'ignore' - Any character beneath a pipe symbol is ignored (default)
              * 'right' - Character is associated with the column to the right
              * 'left' - Character is associated with the column to the left

        DBMS : bool, optional
            If true, this verifies that written tables adhere (semantically)
            to the `IPAC/DBMS <http://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu/applications/DDGEN/Doc/DBMSrestriction.html>`_
            definition of IPAC tables. If 'False' it only checks for the (less strict)
            `IPAC <http://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu/applications/DDGEN/Doc/ipac_tbl.html>`_
            definition.
