Frequently asked questions
How do I include a pipe character in a cell?
Just type it — the tool escapes it as \| in the output, which renders correctly in GFM.
Can I paste from Excel or Google Sheets?
Yes. Both apps copy as tab-separated values. Use the Paste button, leave delimiter on Auto-detect, and paste.
Why does my table look misaligned in the output?
The output is padded for source readability, but Markdown renderers ignore extra spaces inside cells — the rendered table looks identical regardless.
