mdtable2csv (Convert .md file to .csv)

This is a command-line application written in Python that uses the GitHub markdown API to convert a table in .md to .csv. The styles also come directly from GitHub, so you'll know exactly how it will appear.

Motivation

I wanted to convert a table in .md to .csv, but I can't find any tools on the internet for this purpose. So I thought I can just wrote one.

Install requirements

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

OR

$ pip install beautifulsoup4 flask

If you have any issues installing Beautiful Soup, visit this page.

Usage

Use the following command to convert <filename>.md to <filename>.csv :

$ ./mdtable2csv <filename>.md

And then you will see a <filename>.csv in the same folder.

Examples

table.md

# table.md :
First Header  | Second Header
------------- | -------------
Content Cell  | Content Cell
Content Cell  | Content Cell

$ mdtable2csv table.md

# table.csv :
First Header,Second Header
Content Cell,Content Cell
Content Cell,Content Cell

abc.md

# abc.md :
|   |  a | b  | c  |
|---|----|----|----|
| 1 | a1 | b1 | c1 |
| 2 | a2 | b2 | c2 |
| 3 | a3 | b3 | c3 |

$ mdtable2csv abc.md

# abc.csv :
 ,a,b,c
1,a1,b1,c1
2,a2,b2,c2
3,a3,b3,c3
