Transform HTML Table to CSV/MD/TSV/JSON

[ripkurrle]

What type of request is this?

New tool idea

Clear and concise description of the feature you are proposing

HTML tables are built for presenting that table in a browser window but when you want to use that data for another purpose it will be common to put it into a spreadsheet/text pad. Its hit and miss whether the text or whitespace copies across cleanly and requires some or a lot of adjustments to make it work in the other software.

A simple tool to strip out any formatting and leave just the table structure would be great and fit in well with other similar tools currently available in this application.

Is there example of this tool in the wild?
