📚 CSV Files

A CSV (comma-separated values) file is a text file that has a specific format which allows data to be saved in a table structured format. Each line of the file is a data record. Each record consists of one or more fields, separated by commas. CSV is human readable and easy to edit manually. It is simple to implement and parse and smaller in size.

📚 Markdown Syntax

Markdown is a lightweight markup language for creating formatted text using a plain-text editor. Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML). Markdown is widely used in blogging, instant messaging, online forums, collaborative software, documentation pages, and readme files.

  • Markdown Syntax for Tables : To add a table, use three or more hyphens (---) to create each column’s header, and use pipes (|) to separate each column. You can optionally add pipes on either end of the table.
