How to Convert CSV to reStructuredText Table Online?

Transform your CSV data into reStructuredText tables using our online converter. This is ideal for easily adding tabular data to your reStructuredText documents.

1. Upload or Paste Your CSV Data

Upload your CSV file or paste your CSV data into the provided input area. The converter will automatically detect the delimiter (usually a comma) used in your CSV file.

2. Customize Your reStructuredText Table Output (Optional)

Depending on the converter's features, you might have options to customize the generated reStructuredText:

Header Row: Specify whether the first row of your CSV should be used as the table header.
Column Alignment: Control the alignment of text within each column (left, center, right). reStructuredText tables support this through grid table syntax.
Grid vs. Simple Table: Choose between reStructuredText's grid table syntax (which allows for column alignment) or the simpler table syntax.

3. Generate and Preview the reStructuredText Table

The converter will generate the reStructuredText code for your table. A preview area will allow you to review the reStructuredText markup before copying it.

4. Copy the reStructuredText Code

Copy the generated reStructuredText code and paste it directly into your reStructuredText document.

What is CSV?

CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a simple file format used to store tabular data, such as a spreadsheet or database. Each line of the file is a data record, with each field separated by commas.

What is a reStructuredText Table?

reStructuredText offers two main ways to create tables: simple tables and grid tables.

Simple Table: A simple table uses pipes (|) to separate columns and an initial row of hyphens (-) to separate the header from the data. Column alignment is not explicitly controlled.

+------------------------+------------------------+
| Header 1               | Header 2               |
+========================+========================+
| Row 1, Cell 1          | Row 1, Cell 2          |
+------------------------+------------------------+
| Row 2, Cell 1          | Row 2, Cell 2          |
+------------------------+------------------------+

Grid Table: Grid tables provide more control, allowing you to specify column alignment. They use a more structured syntax with hyphens (-) indicating alignment (<, ^, > for left, center, right).

+---------+---------+
| Header 1 | Header 2 |
+=========+=========+
| Row 1   | Row 2   |
+---------+---------+

This converter will likely generate either a simple or grid table (depending on the features and your settings), populating it with data from your CSV file.
