What this converter does not do (yet), and what to do instead.
- The first row is always used as the table header; add a header row if your data has none.
- Line breaks inside a cell are converted to <br>, which most Markdown renderers (including GitHub) display as a line break.
- Very wide tables (dozens of columns) are valid Markdown but hard to read; consider splitting them.
- Formulas from spreadsheets are not evaluated — export or copy the values, not the formulas.
