Summary: Allow a single column simple table to be specified with something like:
======= .. heading ======= data data data ======= Blabbage: We're generating some documents that have database-generated tables, and a few of the tables have single columns. We don't want to have to expand out the tables like +---------+ | heading | +---------+ | data | +---------+ | data | +---------+ | data | +---------+ because we often view the file in text form and feel the simple table is more compact and presents more understandable information in the same amount of screen space (a la Tufte's "data ink"). Our workaround is not too bad -- just adding an extra column with no data: ======= = heading ======= = data data data ======= = This works well for us, at the expense of a slightly uglified table when processed to html or latex. It's a tradeoff we're satisfied with, since everything is internal and the people viewing the html are also the people viewing the text. It would be nice though, for outside consumption, to trim off the extra blank column, just so we don't have to answer questions about if the column is supposed to be blank. Our workaround will be to postprocess the html and latex output, but that's brittle and a bit inelegant compared to the rest of restructured text. nky. So, would it be possible to somehow indicate a single-column table with markup similar to the following? It is currently recognized as neither a section heading nor a table. ======= .. heading ======= data data data ======= Thanks, Mark -- Mark Harrison Pixar Animation Studios -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sphinx-dev" group.
