Does it create a styled table or plain HTML?

Plain by default — bare ` ` with ` ` and ` `. Toggle 'add styling' to get basic CSS for readable output. For custom styling, pair with your own stylesheet.

What about commas inside values?

CSV's quoted-field rule is respected. `"a,b",c` becomes two cells (a,b) and (c). Escaped quotes (`""`) inside quoted fields become literal quotes.

Can I pick my delimiter?

Yes — comma, tab (TSV), semicolon, pipe. Auto-detect tries to guess from the first row.

Is the first row always a header?

Configurable. Toggle 'first row as header' — off creates a body-only table, on creates ` `. Enables proper semantics for screen readers.
