What the CSV to Markdown Table does
Paste CSV data and get a GitHub-ready Markdown table: header row, separator row, and every value placed in its cell with pipes aligned. 'Name,Price\nApple,2' becomes a proper | Name | Price | table.
The converter parses CSV correctly, so a field containing a comma doesn't split into two columns.
Why the CSV to Markdown Table is useful
Markdown tables are how data appears in READMEs, wikis, documentation and forum posts — but writing the pipes and dashes by hand is miserable, especially for wide tables.
Converting from CSV means you can prepare data in a spreadsheet, export, and paste it straight into your docs.
