xls2md v0.1 demo, a python cli tool converting excel file to markdown file

It‘s a new project

What is the project about?

When posting articles, I offen need a complex table which contain a lot of information. I have to type it in the markdown file. It's troublesome and cost me too much time.
So I create a python cli tool to simplify the process.

Install

pip install pipenv
git clone https://github.com/littlemucyoung/xls2md.git
cd xls2md
pipenv install

Usage

pipenv shell
$ python xls2md.py --head --from example/excel/data.xls --sindex 0 --to example/markdown/data.md

common usage:

xls2md.py [--head] --from <from_path> [--sindex <sheet_index>|--sname <sheet_name>] --to <to_path>

Demo

excel file: example/excel/data.xls

run

python xls2md.py --head --from example/excel/data.xls --sindex 0 --to example/markdown/data.md
