This formatter converts inline CSV data into a table.

1. Features

• supports both comma (default) and semicolon as separator
• rows of the table alternate background color
• column alignment: \left\, /right/, |center| or default
• table headers/footers using wiki style ==heading markers==
• add comments in between data by starting a line with (#); blank lines are ignored
• cells can be surrounded in double quotes ("); text in quotes is preserved e.g., whitespace, no splitting on the separator
• it is possible to escape a separator with a backslash (\), that should appear in text
• wiki links in cell text are linked to their internal wiki pages

2. Usage

Call via (csv [delim=[comma|semicolon])
