Frequently asked questions
Should I anonymize first?+
Yes for production data. Pre-anonymize before converting to a public-facing doc.
How wide can tables get?+
Markdown supports any width, but very wide tables become unreadable. Consider splitting into multiple tables.
Will it handle date columns?+
Dates render as their CSV string representation. Pre-format dates in the CSV for consistent display.
