Hi again,

Please look at Martin's separate post:

Martin, I looked at the reST structure and I'm not familiar enough yet 
to understand what it is. Is it just all directives? Can you use 
arbitrary directives?

I'm not sure it's a good idea to keep the HTML rendering use tables, but 
that's something we can tune afterwards.

Cheers
