[Docutils-users] csv-table directive: excluding columns

[Chancy Kennedy]

Hello. I've made a modification to the csv-table directive to use zeroes in
the :widths: option to trigger the exclusion of those columns, e.g. ...

.. csv-table::
:file: file.csv
:widths: 30, 35, 0, 0, 0, 0, 35

... would exclude columns 3 - 6 from being rendered. I'm not very familiar
with docutils. Is this something a patch would be desired for and are there
other modifications I should make for consistency across the table family
of directives?

Also, I'm not subscribed to the mailing list.

Thanks,
Chancy

It is an interesting addition that does not stand in the way, so IMV this is
worth a patch. It should be done on the parser side, so that it works for all
writers.
