An issue related to Functions and Operators
I propose (a) renaming
csv-to-xml
ascsv-to-table
, and (b) changing the output to be an XHTML table. Specifically, instead of outputtingit should output:
Benefits:
(a) the data is just as easy to manipulate or transform as the current output
(b) it can be copied directly into HTML transformation output if required
(c) it is familiar to users
(d) we don't have to write, test, and document a schema
(e) there may well be libraries that can perform further transformations on the structure, for example conversion to other table representations, extraction to spreadsheet formats, etc.
