Paste HTML that contains a table and take it out as CSV or TSV
A colspan is expanded into that many cells, with the extra ones left empty so the column positions stay correct. A rowspan is not expanded: the value appears only on the row where it is written, and later rows shift one column to the left. Use the row and column counts to check for misalignment.
A value is wrapped in double quotes only when it contains a comma, a double quote or a line break, and inner double quotes are doubled. TSV output is not quoted; tabs and line breaks inside a cell are replaced with a single space.
Only the visible text of each cell is exported. Link URLs and image sources are not included in the output.
No. Parsing uses the browser built-in DOMParser and the result is assembled locally. Nothing you paste is uploaded or stored.
