Quick start

Installation

pip install --upgrade tableconverter

Basic usage

You can give the input file and the destination format, e.g.

tableconverter demos/assets/example.csv -d html

and the output will be

<table>
  <tr>
    <th>col1</th>
    <th>col2</th>
    <th>col3</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>aaaa</td>
    <td>bbbb</td>
    <td>cccc</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>&excl;&commat;&num;&dollar;</td>
    <td>&percnt;&Hat;&amp;&ast;</td>
    <td>&lpar;&rpar;&lt;&gt;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>1111</td>
    <td>2222</td>
    <td>3333</td>
  </tr>
</table>

You can also give the output file, e.g.

tableconverter demos/assets/example.csv -d html -o example.html

and the output will be written to example.html.

If no input file is given, the command will expect the input from stdin. In this case, the source format -s csv MUST be given.

tableconverter -s csv -d html -o example.html
# input CSV here
# ends with <CTRL-D> on Unix or <CTRL-Z> on Windows

You can also so use the command with Heredoc and the output will be the same.

cat << EOF | tableconverter -s csv -d html > example.html
> col1,col2,col3
> aaaa,bbbb,cccc
> !@#$,%^&*,()<>
> 1111,2222,3333
> EOF

Supported formats
