Hi, Have you tried csv-table or list-table directives? They are part of docutils. I try them now in Sphinx and I can.
see: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/directives.html .. csv-table:: Frozen Delights! :header: "Treat" :widths: 15 "Albatross" "Crunchy Frog" crunchy "Gannet Ripple" .. list-table:: Frozen Delights! :widths: 15 :header-rows: 1 * - Treat * - Albatross * - Crunchy Frog * - Gannet Ripple 2010/2/16 Mark Harrison <[email protected]>: > 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.
