Tables are fairly limited in ReST because it's designed to work reasonably well in both raw and rendered form. One of my goals is to keep the docs readable as plaintext, which is why I have the guidelines for maintaining an 80 column width and for using the callout link syntax rather than the inline link syntax. The differences are quite noticeable: [1] http://docs.turbogears.org/1.0/Wiki20/Page2?action=raw [2] http://docs.turbogears.org/1.0/RoughDocs/FormValidationWithSchemas?action=raw&rev=5 I usually do the callouts while the docs are still unofficial and wrap them when I mark them official. I also don't do most of my heavy edits in browser, I copy the entire article into vim and do the edits there. In the case of tables, that's my recommended solution. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears Docs" group.
