Example: Excel to Textile Table

Given an Excel sheet like:

• Row 1 (headers): Project, Status, Owner
• Row 2: Website, In Progress, Alice
• Row 3: API, Completed, Bob

The generated Textile markup will look like:

• |_. Project |_. Status |_. Owner |
• | Website | In Progress | Alice |
• | API | Completed | Bob |

You can paste this directly into a Textile editor and it will render as a formatted table.

FAQ

Which Excel formats can I upload?

You can upload .xlsx and .xls files. If your data lives in Google Sheets, export it as Excel first and then convert.

How are Textile headers generated?

When “First row is header” is enabled, the first row is converted using |_. Header |_. Cells | so it renders as a bold header row in Textile.

Does the tool support multi‑line cells?

Line breaks inside cells are preserved as text within the table cell. Rendering behavior can depend on your Textile engine and target platform.

Is my Excel data sent to a server?

No. All Excel to Textile conversion happens client‑side in your browser. Files are not uploaded to any external server, keeping your data private.

Can I edit the Textile output?

Yes. You can edit the generated markup directly in the output area before copying or downloading it, allowing you to fine‑tune formatting or add extra rows.
