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?

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.

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

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

  1. plugin for preview
