Table is not full in pdf. And this style with spaces at top, bottom near text in cells. Why latex does not take size from rst? Can i make it better? How? Thanks for help!

Answer 1

I know your question has been posted for a while, but in case it is still an issue, and for posterity who may come upon this here is how I fixed this issue in an rst doc of my own. I had the same issue, but using a standard rst table drawn out explicitly like so.

+--------+--------+---------+
|Column 1|Column 2| Column 3|
+========+========+=========+
|Value   |Value   |Value    |
+--------+--------+---------+

And so on with many cells that would show the same behavior of running over the page end. The solution was using the class: longtable argument, and then very carefully indenting the table so that the class was applied. Like so:

.. table:: Table Title
  :class: longtable
  +--------+--------+---------+
  |Column 1|Column 2| Column 3|
  +========+========+=========+
  |Value   |Value   |Value    |
  +--------+--------+---------+

This when rendered in pdf would properly break the table over multiple pages. You should be able to use the same class on a csv table.
