HTML Table to Markdown

When would I convert HTML tables to Markdown?

Markdown tables are used in GitHub READMEs, documentation sites, wikis, and static site generators. Converting HTML tables lets you migrate content from CMS systems, emails, or web pages to Markdown-based documentation without manually reformatting every row. The converter uses regex-based parsing so it works entirely in your browser with no server involved — HTML entities like & are decoded, nested tags are stripped, and columns are automatically padded to align the pipe characters for readable source output.
