“list-table” widths do not match the number of columns in table¶
Symptoms¶
Sphinx build failed with the error similar to:
WARNING: "list-table" widths do not match the number of columns in table (3).
Reasons¶
Table created with list-table directive, can have optional option :widths: that adjust columns’ widths. Above warning means :widths: is invalid because it define widths for different number of columns than the table has. The number of columns in the table is in parenthesis.
Example¶
The following is 2 rows x 3 columns table. Unfortunately, :widths: option contains only widths for 2 columns.
.. list-table::
:widths: 50, 50
* - row 1, column 1
- row 1, column 2
- row 1, column 3
* - row 2, column 1
- row 2, column 2
- row 2, column 3
Solution¶
For example, we want the equal width columns. Width must be specified as integer. In this case, we use width of 33.
.. list-table::
:widths: 33, 33, 33
* - row 1, column 1
- row 1, column 2
- row 1, column 3
* - row 2, column 1
- row 2, column 2
- row 2, column 3
