Thank you.  So if it works with rst2latex, it should work when using
readthedocs to generate a pdf, yes?
Sorry, I'm also confused about the syntax in the reST document.  Right now
I have this:

.. tabularcolumns:: |p{2.1cm}|p{5cm}|p{7.5cm}|

.. table:: table name

   +----------+
    | table   |


I'm not sure what I need to change to use longtable.  Thanks!
