How it works

Quoted CSV records are parsed, widths are measured over the displayed slice, and padded cells form a text table. The total row count remains complete even when only a limited prefix is rendered.

  • One hundred visible rows keeps previews manageable.
  • Line numbers help locate an import or spreadsheet error.

Worked example

View employee CSV as aligned table
Display a 2-row CSV with line numbers and padded column alignment
Input
											name,age,city
Alice,30,Portland
Bob,25,Seattle
Output
												   | name  | age | city    
---+-------+-----+---------
 1 | Alice | 30  | Portland
 2 | Bob   | 25  | Seattle

When to use this

Developers preview generated exports, support inspects uploads, and code reviews check small fixture tables.

Edge cases

  • A quoted newline stays in one cell and can make a table row visually awkward.
  • A long token widens its column instead of being silently truncated.
  • Rows beyond the limit are summarized in a remaining-count notice.
