yes of course but not everything can be fetched from the rst.

but i think the paragraph separation should work.
currently i have turned off first line intendation and use paragraph separation
seams to fail inside longtable.

tables are an itch and used far to often the configuration files entries might
be done by a description environment as the option-list, but this might need
another markup, if we donot use field-lists.

e.g.::

     _destination --  Path to output destination, set from positional
                      arguments.

                      Default: stdout (None).  No command-line
                      options.

     _source   --     Path to input source, set from positional
                      arguments.

                      Default: stdin (None).  No command-line options.

would be easier to type (in fact we could still make it a table

as a field list (are not set correct up to now IMHO)::

     :_destination:   Path to output destination, set from positional
                      arguments.

                      Default: stdout (None).  No command-line
                      options.

     :_source:        Path to input source, set from positional
                      arguments.

                      Default: stdin (None).  No command-line options.

cheers
