# Tables
We use the List Table directive for tables.
If possible give your table a name as this helps with SEO and screen readers for Accessibility.
In the width declaration, determine the number of columns and the width for each.
## Regular table
Using:
```rst
.. list-table:: Caption
:widths: 33 33 33
:header-rows: 1
* - header name
- header name
- header name
* - body text
- body text
- body text
```
Results in:
#### Caption
| header name | header name | header name |
|---------------|---------------|---------------|
| body text | body text | body text |
## Complex table
Using:
```rst
