[Docutils-users] CSV table problems

[Alan Isaac]

Output for the first line of Test Table 1 is OK,
if the last line is deleted.
The last is not OK (because of the commas).

It *is* possible to put the expressions in quotes.
BUT:

Output for the first line of Test Table 2 is OK,
if the last line is deleted.
The last is not OK (because of the space before the comma).

Cheers,
Alan Isaac

Yes, you need to have valid rST in every field.
The last line contains 4 fields (because of the commas).

How about setting a different deliminator?

Yes, because you cannot put only a part of the expression in quotes and
whitespace is not stripped.

BUT, you can simply ensure that there is no whitespace between " and the
deliminator.

Got it. I misread the following (by ignoring the "following"):
"Treat whitespace immediately following the delimiter as significant.
The default is to ignore such whitespace."

Thank you for the patient correction.
