Long-term archival in a standardized format

Frequently Asked Questions

What Markdown table formats are supported?

We support basic Markdown table syntax with pipes and dashes. Both aligned and non-aligned columns work. GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown) extensions are supported.

How are special characters handled?

Special characters in cells are properly escaped according to CSV RFC 4180. Commas within cells are quoted, and quotes are doubled according to standard CSV conventions.

Can I convert multiple tables from a single file?

Yes, the converter will detect all tables in your Markdown file and convert them to separate CSV files that download sequentially.

How It Works

Files are read locally using the FileReader API
Markdown tables are parsed using a custom parser that handles various syntax variations
CSV generation follows RFC 4180 standards with proper quoting and escaping
All processing happens in your browser - no data is sent to servers
Download uses the Blob API with appropriate MIME types and file extensions

For informational and educational purposes only. Conversions run locally in your browser. Complex formatting may not be fully preserved. For professional workflows, verify formatting, fonts, and compliance before publishing.
