Tables

reST features several synthaxes for tables. Grid tables are complete but a lot of work, while simple tables are easy to create but limited (now raw spans, etc.). Additionally, CSV-tables are a convenient alternative where one can define column widths. Tables can be decorated with a title and even hyperlinked.

Grid table:

Header 1 Header 2 Header 3

body row 1 column 2 column 3

body row 2 Cells may span columns.

body row 3 Cells may span rowns

• Cells

• contain

• blocks.

body row 4

Simple table:

Inputs Output

A B A or B

False False False

True False True

False True True

True True True

Titled table:

The table directive can be used to create a titled table:

Denigma's Aspects

CSV table:

CSV tables enable to specify explicitly the width of each column:
