#172 Directives within line blocks within grid tables
Directives within line blocks within grid tables are interpreted as invalid substitutions rather than directives.
Nor can directives like the class directive be used within the deprecated line-block directive.
Consider the example:
+---------+----------------+
| Address | |..class:: foo |
| | | |
| | | bar |
| | | baz |
+---------+----------------+
Expect a table with a class of 'foo' applied to cell 2. Instead, the class is interpreted as a malformed substitution reference.
There are missing space characters between the "line-block-bar" and the directive as well as between
the dots and the directive name
Also, the class directive must precede the object it applies to, so maybe you wanted
+---------+-----------------+
| Address | .. class:: foo |
| | |
| | | bar |
| | | baz |
+---------+-----------------+
Or, with the line-block directive:
.. class:: foo
.. line-block::
bar
baz
