ligotab

Tables in a few formats

ligotab is library and command line tool for formatting delimiter-separated values (CSV, etc.) as lightweight markup tables in a few formats. So far, basic Markdown, Confluence Wiki Markup, Org, and reStructuredText tables are supported (grid syntax only for rst). The command line tool, lt, can read from standard input or from a single file.

ligotab is an experimental work in progress.
