New Feature Converts Excel Data to Markdown Tables

Easily create Markdown tables by copying data from Excel or Google Sheets and pasting it into the designated text box using Ctrl+V. Alternatively, you can now paste an existing Markdown table to convert it back to Excel or Google Sheets format. The result is automatically copied to your clipboard and is ready to use. To specify column alignments, you can prepend specific symbols to the column heading names in Excel. For example, to right-align the "weight" column and center-align the "color" column, enter the following in Excel: animal^r weight^c color dog 30lb tan dog 85lb black cat 18lb calico When pasted, this will produce the following Markdown table: | animal | weight | color | |:------ |:-----:|:-----:| | dog | 30lb | tan | | dog | 85lb | black | | cat | 18lb | calico | This feature simplifies the process of converting between spreadsheet and Markdown formats, making it a handy tool for those who frequently work with both.
