Convert HTML to CSV

.html

HTML – is a special format associated with web pages developed using the appropriate markup language. Links link a lot of pages from websites. Text editors modify files with a similar extension since they are a standard text document. However, to avoid incorrect display, it is recommended to use specialized software, for example, Adobe Dreamweaver. All modern browsers allow you to open HTML files, but the source code is not displayed by default. It can be viewed in the web browser menu by selecting the "View source" category or using a text editor. Files with the HTML extension include text content and links in the form of text to external objects, for example, a picture inside an article.

The HTML language was created by T. Berners-Lee to exchange scientific and technical information by people who do not have in-depth knowledge in the field of imposition. It is based on the use of multiple tags enclosed in angle brackets. Modern browsers easily interpret the HTML4 language by providing the user with formatted text. Now there is a fifth version with the DOM specification (formerly SGML).

.csv

CSV – is a unique text format. The data inside of which are separated by commas—developed in the early 70-ies of the XX century to import various table information and transfer bulk information between databases in text format. Each line of the file acts as one row of the database. Using the spreadsheet application, CSV files can be organized into cells and added to the appropriate database. Commas separate the parameters of each column. If there are reserved symbols (for example, a semicolon or a new line), double quotes play the separator role. This allows you to transfer information between different programs freely. CSV, in some cases, are сalled flat files. They can be opened by most editors able to work with tables and texts, including both authentic Excel and open source utilities like Apache Open Office and Libre Office.

On personal computers, the CSV extension includes many values represented as ASCII tables. In this case, the text strings are clearly organized, so all values are separated by commas or double quotes (if there are reserved symbols). The use of different delimiters allows the availability of unequal encoding.
