Pavlos, i've finally gotten around to incorporating your table code to the distributed StructuredText.py. I haven't spoken with pam and the other docs folks about their requirements, so i'm not sure about the upshot of all this, but your changes definitely look good! Re how to deal with newlines in the table text, i don't see obvious syntax to deal with that implicitly. Since, it seems to me, the fundamental StructuredText philosophy is to place high priority on having the source text look natural and deal with the common cases, and not allow the less common cases force artifical/unintuitive layout in the source text, it seems appropriate to let people needing to do the complicated thing explicitly complicate their source with html markup (eg, <br>)...
