FAQ

What is Markdown table syntax?

Markdown tables use pipes (|) and dashes (-) to create structured tables. The first row is the header, followed by a separator row of dashes, then the data rows.

Can I convert Excel data?

Yes! Copy cells from Excel and paste as TSV (tab-separated). Excel copies cells with tab delimiters by default.

Why are some characters escaped?

Pipe characters (|) in your data are escaped with backslash (|) to prevent breaking the table structure.

Does this work with complex tables?

This tool handles standard tables. Complex tables with merged cells or nested structures may need manual adjustment.
