Please post the tabularcolumns directive you are using and enough of the table

the issue could be.

One thing to verify is that the number of columns in the tabularcolumns 
directive is the same as the actual table.

Sorry, here's a bit:

  .. tabularcolumns:: |R|R|L|

  .. _tasks_rsync_opts_tab:

  .. table:: Rsync Configuration Options
     :class: longtable

     +------------+----------+----------------+
     | Setting    | Value    | Description    |


This produces

  ! Missing # inserted in alignment preamble.
  <to be read again>
                     \cr
  l.5164 \begin{longtable}{|p{1.0cm}|p{1.0cm}|L|}

The \RaggedRight colspec produces the "undefined control sequence" shown earlier. Using |p{1.0cm}|p{1.0cm}|L| gives

  ! Missing # inserted in alignment preamble.
  <to be read again>
                     \cr
  l.5164 \begin{longtable}{|p{1.0cm}|p{1.0cm}|L|}

I have no preamble, so maybe it's that. Or maybe another extension is needed, at the moment only ifconfig and httpdomain are declared. But without the tabularcolumns directive, it does produce a PDF.

Thanks!

            Sphinx tables in latex are inconsistent at the moment.  There is a 
ticket open to use just one package for tables, but right now I think it picks 
1 of 4(?) packages depending on what it thinks it best.  In all of the
            documentation we write, I always
            add :class: longtable to all of the table definitions to allow for 
(what I think) is better layout, plus the header/footer for continuations.

            You can format the columns and overall table width using the 
tabularcolumns directive, eg
            .. tabularcolumns:: |>{\RaggedRight}p{\dimexpr 
0.3\linewidth-2\tabcolsep}
                                |>{\RaggedRight}p{\dimexpr 
0.5\linewidth-2\tabcolsep}
                                |>{\RaggedRight}p{\dimexpr 
0.2\linewidth-2\tabcolsep}|

            Adding that everywhere tends to get annoying quickly, plus is is 
difficult for most people understand what is going on (FYI this produces a 
table with 3 columns, all left aligned, with 30%, 50%, and 20% of the page 
widths).


What else is needed to use this?  If I add it, PDF creation halts in the 
middle, with

  ! Undefined control sequence.
  <template> ...inewidth -2\tabcolsep }\RaggedRight
                                                    \ignorespaces
  l.5169 \textsf
                {\relax
  ?

This is sphinx 1.4.6.
