At this moment, sphinx fails to separate tables even if it is larger than the page height.
So please give :class: longtable option to csv-table directive as a hint.
It will allow you to separate the table.

Note: refs #2620.

Hello! Thank you :class: longtable works. But how i can customize table? Cell size? Text orientation? Why sphinx/latex doesn't take html style?

[tk0miya]

About cell size (cell width), you can use :widths: option to specify the widths manually.
But no way to modify text orientation.

AFAIK, there are no way for HTML builder too.
What did you mean "html style"? If you mean CSS, you can use TeX macros to do that (I'm not good at it...)

[daiger14]

I used :widths: in table but in latex output like you see doesn't have effect. You can check my example of project.

[tk0miya]

Ah, sorry. It's my mistake.
Please use tabularcolumns directive instead.

.. tabularcolumns:: |p{1.5cm}|p{2.0cm}|p{5.0cm}|

Thank you for your help Takeshi!

Sphinx 1.6 will obey :widths: option to table directives, for LaTeX output (ref #3379, #3381), thus sparing use of tabularcolumns in simple cases. With current code such tables will always occupy full line width, though, but perhaps some way will be found so that it becomes useful option also for tables which are naturally narrower than linewidth. But currently tables (when they are equipped with a caption and have less than 30 rows hence do not use automatically longtable) are not even centered in the page.
