How the csv to markdown table works

The CSV is parsed with the same RFC 4180 quote-aware parser as the JSON converter, then rendered as a GitHub-flavored Markdown table: a header row, a --- separator line, and one pipe-delimited row per record. Pipe characters inside values are escaped (\|) and embedded newlines become spaces so the table stays intact.

The fastest route from spreadsheet to documentation: copy cells from Excel or Google Sheets (which copies as tab-separated text), paste here with auto-detect, and the tab delimiter is recognized — one paste, one copy, done.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paste directly from Excel or Google Sheets?

Yes — spreadsheet copies are tab-separated, which auto-detect recognizes. Paste, copy the Markdown, drop it in your README.

What if my data contains the | character?

It is escaped as \| automatically, so the table structure survives values like "a|b".

Does Markdown support column alignment?

Yes, via colons in the separator row (:--- left, :---: center, ---: right). The tool emits plain --- separators; add colons where you want alignment.

How do wide tables render?

Markdown tables do not wrap — very wide tables scroll horizontally on GitHub. Consider trimming columns before converting.

Is anything uploaded?

No — conversion is local and instant.
