The following worked fine for me:
.. tabularcolumns:: |>{\RaggedRight}p{\dimexpr 0.3\linewidth-2\tabcolsep
}
|>{\RaggedRight}p{\dimexpr 0.4\linewidth-2\tabcolsep
}
|>{\RaggedLeft}p{\dimexpr 0.3\linewidth-2\tabcolsep
}|
.. _tasks_rsync_opts_tab:
.. table:: Rsync Configuration Options
:class: longtable
+------------+----------+----------------+
| Setting | Value | Description |
+------------+----------+----------------+
| Setting | Value | Description |
+------------+----------+----------------+
Also, the commands are l, r, and c, not L, R, C. So the following also
works:
.. tabularcolumns:: |r|r|l|
See https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Tables
I always specify the width I want for PDF output to ensure that latex
doesn't do anything weird with the wrapping or have text run into the next
cell. Normally I use list tables because I think they are easier to
maintain (and contain other nodes, like lists and admonitions), so I am not
sure if the same behavior happens with simple tables.
