Markdown table to CSV
Markdown tables are convenient to write and awkward to compute with. Paste one and this parses the header, alignment and body rows into a grid you can edit, then exports CSV that opens cleanly in a spreadsheet.

questions
- What happens to pipes inside code spans?
- Strictly, GitHub-flavored Markdown does not let backticks protect a pipe. Because generated tables often assume otherwise, a lenient mode treats those pipes as literal text.
- Are leading zeros preserved?
- In CSV the value is written as-is; whether a spreadsheet keeps 00123 as text depends on its import settings. The Excel export types every cell as a string instead.
