When converting from latex to rst (or markdown, html, etc), some table syntax doesn't convert correctly. For example, the following latex:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{booktabs}

\begin{document}
\begin{table}
\caption {Proportion of Annotations Covered}
\begin{center}

\begin{tabular}{lrr}
\toprule
{} &    lamp00 &    lamp10 \\
\midrule
CDS         &  0.919196 &  0.789203 \\
UTR         &  0.957400 &  0.838308 \\
exon        &  0.896246 &  0.780100 \\
gene        &  0.051323 &  0.128880 \\
start\_codon &  0.960101 &  0.857505 \\
stop\_codon  &  0.636520 &  0.903922 \\
transcript  &  0.048511 &  0.120501 \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
\end{document}

Gives the following rst:

| lrr & lamp00 & lamp10
| CDS & 0.919196 & 0.789203
| UTR & 0.957400 & 0.838308
| exon & 0.896246 & 0.780100
| gene & 0.051323 & 0.128880
| start\_codon & 0.960101 & 0.857505
| stop\_codon & 0.636520 & 0.903922
| transcript & 0.048511 & 0.120501

Removing the \*rule commands produces proper rst tables. I searched extensively, but couldn't find a similar issue; can this be fixed with a custom template, or is it a bug? The use-case here is keeping around an rst version of the file for easy viewing on github, while doing the primary writing in latex.
