Tables
******
There are two types of tables with different syntax, `Grid Tables <http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#grid-tables>`_, and `Simple Tables <http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#simple-tables>`_.
Grid Tables
___________
`Grid Tables <http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#grid-tables>`_ are described with a visual grid made up of the characters "-", "=", "|", and "+". The hyphen ("-") is used for horizontal lines (row separators). The equals sign ("=") may be used to separate optional header rows from the table body. The vertical bar ("|") is used for vertical lines (column separators). The plus sign ("+") is used for intersections of horizontal and vertical lines.
Here is example code for a grid table in a *.rst* file:
.. code-block:: console
+------------------------+------------+----------+----------+
| Header row, column 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 | Header 4 |
| (header rows optional) | | | |
+========================+============+==========+==========+
| body row 1, column 1 | column 2 | column 3 | column 4 |
+------------------------+------------+----------+----------+
| body row 2 | Cells may span columns. |
+------------------------+------------+---------------------+
| body row 3 | Cells may | - Table cells |
+------------------------+ span rows. | - contain |
| body row 4 | | - body elements. |
+------------------------+------------+---------------------+
This example code generates a grid table that looks like this:
+------------------------+------------+----------+----------+
| Header row, column 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 | Header 4 |
| (header rows optional) | | | |
+========================+============+==========+==========+
| body row 1, column 1 | column 2 | column 3 | column 4 |
+------------------------+------------+----------+----------+
| body row 2 | Cells may span columns. |
+------------------------+------------+---------------------+
| body row 3 | Cells may | - Table cells |
+------------------------+ span rows. | - contain |
| body row 4 | | - body elements. |
+------------------------+------------+---------------------+
Simple Tables
_____________
`Simple tables <http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#simple-tables>`_ are described with horizontal borders made up of "=" and "-" characters. The equals sign ("=") is used for top and bottom table borders, and to separate optional header rows from the table body. The hyphen ("-") is used to indicate column spans in a single row by underlining the joined columns, and may optionally be used to explicitly and/or visually separate rows.
Simple tables are "simpler" to create than grid tables, but are more limited.
Here is example code for a simple table in a *.rst* file.
.. code-block:: console
===== ===== =======
A B A and B
===== ===== =======
False False False
True False False
False True False
True True True
===== ===== =======
This example code generates a simple table that looks like this:
===== ===== =======
A B A and B
===== ===== =======
False False False
True False False
False True False
True True True
===== ===== =======
