How do you create multiline tables with 3 columns in .rst?

unknown

I am currently documenting parameters in .rst format. I would love a solution for creating a clean multiline table in .rst. Does anyone have a solution? I am using this format:

Can you make this table multiline?

I read that you can use a single bar line ( | ) to add multiple lines, but I have not succeeded. 

.. list-table:: Title
   :widths: 25 25 50
   :header-rows: 1

   * - Heading row 1, column 1
     - Heading row 1, column 2
     - Heading row 1, column 3
   * - Row 1, column 1
     - Row 1, column 2
     - Row 1, column 3
     - Row 1, column 3
   * - Row 2, column 1
     - Row 2, column 2
     - Row 2, column 3

Hi Ashley,

The example you provided has 4 columns in the 1st row (- Row 1, column 3 is there twice), while the rest of the rows have 3 columns.

If I remove the extra - Row 1, column 3 and use the following in an .rst file committed in my repo:

.. list-table:: Title
   :widths: 25 25 50
   :header-rows: 1

   * - Heading row 1, column 1
     - Heading row 1, column 2
     - Heading row 1, column 3
   * - Row 1, column 1
     - Row 1, column 2
     - Row 1, column 3
   * - Row 2, column 1
     - Row 2, column 2
     - Row 2, column 3

Then the table shows as follows:

Is this what you are expecting to see? And does it work if you remove the 4th column from the example?

Kind regards,
Theodora
