The method, explained

Parse the CSV, use the first row as column headers, add a Markdown separator row, and escape pipe characters and HTML angle brackets in cells.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

Tool,Category produces a header row | Tool | Category | followed by | --- | --- | and the data rows.

What to keep in mind

Targets common pipe-table Markdown renderers. Line breaks become spaces. Styling and column widths depend on the destination renderer; review the copied table before publishing.

Reference: RFC 4180: comma-separated values

Common questions

Can I paste tab-separated data?

This tool expects comma-separated CSV. Convert the delimiter first if your data uses tabs.

Does it execute HTML in cells?

The tool emits escaped angle brackets and displays output as text. Your destination renderer controls the final rendering.
