Parse a Markdown table into CSV and download the result.
Turn a Markdown table from a README or spec into CSV for Excel, analysis, or another data tool. The converter identifies the actual Markdown table block—header, separator row, and data rows—instead of blindly replacing every pipe character with a comma.
---) identifies the table you intended.A line such as | --- | ---: | under the header tells Markdown that this is a table. The converter uses that marker too, so unrelated prose containing a | character is not pulled into the CSV.
Both | A | B | and A | B can be read as rows. If a pipe is part of the cell value itself, escape it as \| so it is not treated as a column boundary.
If the header has three columns and a data row has two, the third CSV cell is left blank. If a row has more columns than the header, the converter stops instead of silently discarding data.
Syntax such as **bold** or Markdown links is not rendered or stripped. This converts table structure to CSV; it is not a Markdown-to-plain-text cleaner.
Convert a comparison table from GitHub into CSV for sorting, or move a specification table into Excel. After conversion, checking the header and a few rows is usually enough to spot a column mismatch.
