What this converter does not do (yet), and what to do instead.
- If the document contains several tables, their rows are combined into one CSV; convert one table at a time to keep them separate.
- Bold, links and other formatting inside cells are reduced to plain text.
- Text outside tables is ignored.
- Merged cells do not exist in Markdown, so every row must have the same columns as the header for clean results.
