I'm replying to this really old post because I couldn't find the 
information in the current documentation or forums. It seems that this 
feature was introduced in 1.3, so perhaps it was not possible in 2013, but 
it is now - only the syntax isn't documented. 

To include a caption with a table, use .. table::  [your caption here] 

I found this confusing because you don't normally need to use a tag to 
start a table, you just draw it in the text file. 

So instead of just putting the table drawing by itself, put the table tag 
first and indent the table drawing underneath it: 

.. table:: Modular Dimensions

  
 +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
   | Modular Dimensions                                                    
    |
  
 +=======================+===================================================+
   | Height                | 1U (1.75 inches, 44.5 mm, nominal EIA 
standard)   |
  
 +-----------------------+---------------------------------------------------+
   | Width                 | 19 inches (482.6 mm, nominal EIA standard)    
    |
  
 +-----------------------+---------------------------------------------------+

I haven't yet figured out how to position the caption below the table - at 
the moment mine are coming out above, and centered, which I don't like - 
but I think that's addressed with stylesheets and I will work on that 
later.
