[Docutils-users] [Possibly OT] rst Type Tool For Spreadsheets

[Tim D. <tu...@tu...>]

This may officialy be a Dumb Question (tm) but ...

Is there an rst-ish tool - let's call it rst2xls - that would allow
a plain text markdown file to be transformed into a spreadsheet with
formatting, titles, formulae, etc.?

I regularly have to extract data from client host machines, using command line
tools and then go through a very painful process of converting to csv,
formatting, titling, etc.  

This can be done programmatically using the 'xlswriter' module for Python.
But, this tends to encourage one-off solutions for the moment that are
very task specific.   I'm just wondering if anyone has run into a more
generic markdown approach to handling this problem.

Thanks,
