  3. Would anyone happen to know of a utility/trick for converting HTML tables (trivial, no complex cell stuff or styling or anything going on) to text tables so I can have a readable plaintext version?

    I could just write a quick Lisp script but I imagine there's probably something already out there

          @nytpu maybe something like this would help? i vaguely remember seeing an html to markdown tool that also formatted tables, but I don't know if this is the one

          https://github.com/JohannesKaufmann/html-to-markdown

            @nytpu I thought Pandoc might do it alright but I tried a relatively simple html-to-markdown and html-to-txt test and wasn't impressed with the outcomes.

              @LunaDragofelis Common Lisp, just because I can really quickly get something semi-one-off like this working
