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
