Convert Excel to Markdown for README
Turn spreadsheet tables into Markdown pipe tables for GitHub README, docs sites, and wikis.
Why Markdown tables in README
README files render Markdown natively on GitHub and GitLab. Converting Excel avoids manual pipe-table typing.
Best source format
Use a simple header row and plain values. Merge cells may not map cleanly to Markdown.
Download and paste
Convert online, download .md, then paste into README or docs repo.
Sample Markdown output
