CSV and HTML explained
CSV is plain text where each line is a row and commas separate the fields. There is no formatting, no formulas, and no second sheet — which is precisely why every system on earth can read it.
HTML is the markup language of the web, describing document structure — headings, paragraphs, lists, links — which browsers then render.
- Where CSV files come from
- Database exports, analytics tools and data interchange between systems.
- Where HTML is used
- Web pages, email templates and exports from documentation tools.
