In the "list tables" section of doc-guide/sphinx.rst, the first paragraph starts with the sentence: We recommend the use of list table formats. Yes, the disadvantage of list tables is mentioned later in the paragraph: Compared to the ASCII-art they might not be as comfortable for readers of the text files. , but I still see list-table is meant as the preferred format. If you prefer the ASCII-art form for simple tables, you might need to de-emphasize the above mentioned recommendation as well. Thanks, Akira
