How about just making this something specified with a directive, similar to the tabularcolumns directive?

Bump!

Yeah, it should be fine to switch it on like with adjusting the columns through tabularcolumns.

I agree on this : switching to longtable should be explicit.
It would be great to see this solved soon.

I will try to provide a patch, so any pointer on how to do it is more than welcome.

Hi,

I made a patch that add a "longtable" option to the "tabularcolumns" directive.
You can pull it from https://bitbucket.org/cdevienne/sphinx-longtable/ (Note that it is a fork of sphinx-06)

I chose this approach over adding a new directive because the resulting code is much simpler. This suggest that tabularcolumns is a generic directive for the latex writer for holding all the table-related options.
This imply that a renaming of this directive might be a good idea. Let's say "latextableoptions" for example, or "tableoptions".

Example :
{{{

.. tabularcolumns:: |l|l|r|
:longtable:

.. table::

.. some content...

}}}

I welcome any feedback, and of course a merge into sphinx would be great.

Regards,

Christophe

Using a "recognized class argument" ensures compatibility with Docutils as class arguments can be savely ignored.

Example:
{{{
.. class:: longtable

.. table::

.. some content ....

}}}

(This would need the cssclass -> class renaming first.)

Thanks for the suggestion. You are making a good point.
I updated my repo (https://bitbucket.org/cdevienne/sphinx-longtable/) with it.
Now you can write :

{{{
.. cssclass:: longtable

.. table::

.. some content...

}}}

Please try and see if the behavior is correct.
