Cameron, you can create tables in rst using CSV-like syntax

Check: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/directives.html#id1

Example from above link:

.. csv-table:: Frozen Delights!
   :header: "Treat", "Quantity", "Description"
   :widths: 15, 10, 30

   "Albatross", 2.99, "On a stick!"
   "Crunchy Frog", 1.49, "If we took the bones out"
   "Gannet Ripple", 1.99, "On a stick!"

Best
