That matters because table syntax is the most error-prone part of Markdown — a missing pipe or a malformed separator row silently turns the whole table into plain text. Everything runs in your browser; nothing you type or paste is uploaded.
How Do You Generate a Markdown Table?
- Set the size with + Row / + Column, or click Paste from Excel / CSV to import existing data
- Type your content into the grid cells — the first row is the header
- Click the alignment buttons (⇤ ↔ ⇥) above any column to align it left, center, or right
- Choose Markdown or HTML output and click Copy
How Do You Convert an Excel Table to Markdown?
Select the cells in Excel or Google Sheets, copy them, click Paste from Excel / CSV above, and paste. Spreadsheets copy cells as tab-separated text, so each tab becomes a column boundary and each line a row — the first row is treated as the header. The importer also accepts comma-separated (CSV) data when no tabs are present.
This is usually the fastest route from spreadsheet to README: no add-ins, no export step, and because the conversion happens in your browser, the data in your spreadsheet never leaves your machine. For whole documents rather than tables, the Word to Markdown converter handles .docx files the same private way.
