TSV and HTML explained
TSV is CSV with tab characters as separators. Because tabs almost never appear inside data fields, it sidesteps most of CSV's quoting problems.
HTML is the markup language of the web, describing document structure — headings, paragraphs, lists, links — which browsers then render.
- Where TSV files come from
- Bioinformatics, data pipelines and anywhere fields contain commas.
- Where HTML is used
- Web pages, email templates and exports from documentation tools.
