# csvtomd: markdown tables made easy

*Version 0.1.0*

Convert your CSV files into Markdown tables.

[Tables Generator](http://www.tablesgenerator.com/markdown_tables) is a fantastic web tool for converting tabular data into all sorts of table layouts. I like how it lets me import CSV files, but I need the ability to convert many CSV files in batch for a docset on which I'm working.

I built `csvtomd` to convert one or more CSV files into nicely-padded Markdown tables. Now you can build your tables in Excel and convert them for use in GitHub, Bitbucket, or [Mou](http://mouapp.com/) Markdown files without having to construct them by hand.

# Usage

## Requirements

Python 3. Tested on Python 3.4.1.

## Input

File: `thrones.csv`

```
First Name,Last Name,Location,Allegiance
Mance,Rayder,North of the Wall,Wildlings
Margaery,Tyrell,The Reach,House Tyrell
Danerys,Targaryen,Meereen,House Targaryen
Tyrion,Lannister,King's Landing,House Lannister
```

## Markdown Table

First Name | Last Name | Location | Allegiance
------------|-------------|---------------------|-----------------
Mance | Rayder | North of the Wall | Wildlings
Margaery | Tyrell | The Reach | House Tyrell
Danerys | Targaryen | Meereen | House Targaryen
Tyrion | Lannister | King's Landing | House Lannister

## Raw Output

Command: `./csvtomd.py thrones.csv`

```
First Name | Last Name | Location | Allegiance

Mance | Rayder | North of the Wall | Wildlings
Margaery | Tyrell | The Reach | House Tyrell
Danerys | Targaryen | Meereen | House Targaryen
Tyrion | Lannister | King's Landing | House Lannister
```

Command: `./csvtomd.py --padding 0 thrones.csv`

```
First Name|Last Name|Location |Allegiance
----------|---------|-----------------|---------------

```

## Help

Command: `./csvtomd.py --help`

```
usage: csvtomd.py [-h] [-n] [-p PADDING] csv_file [csv_file ...]
Read one or more CSV files and output their contents in the form of Markdown
tables.
positional arguments:
csv_file One or more CSV files to be converted
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-n, --no-filenames Don't display filenames when outputting multiple
Markdown tables.
-p PADDING, --padding PADDING
The number of spaces to add between table cells and
