What this does

Reads a Markdown table and writes CSV, so it opens as columns in a spreadsheet.

Where it earns its keep

  • Pulling a table out of a README to sort or filter it
  • Sending a Markdown table to someone who works in Excel
  • Round-tripping: edit the CSV, convert back with the CSV to Markdown tool

How the table is read

Cells are read between pipes, and \| counts as a literal pipe rather than a column break — that is the escape the CSV side writes, so a round trip survives. The separator row is dropped because it carries no data.
