> Why? Is CSV easier to write than LaTeX?
1. When it comes to tables, yes - CSV is easier to write than LaTeX. Everything is easier than LaTeX tables :)
2. More serious reason - I have some lab equipment which outputs its results as CSV files, so this tool is used to convert those 'automatically' created .csv files.
- cup-of-tea 9y agoBut isn't it just a character substitution? TeX uses & and \\ for column and row separators, CSV uses , and newline. There's no way I'm writing either of them by hand, so why do I need to convert from CSV?
