editors for tables in Sphinx/reStructuredText?

Question

I\'m looking at using Sphinx / reStructuredText for documentation, and it looks very promising, except tables look like a pain to do. Is there an editor that can help?

Answer 1

The best practice is to me is vscode with plugin and venv

1. plugin for preview

2. plugin for automatic completion

Answer 2

ReSTedit is good and simple if you're using a Mac. The Wikipedia page lists others.

Answer 3

Emacs acts as the default (or the most natural choice) for editing reStructuredText. With that in mind table mode meshes pretty well with the way reST do tables.
