Console → Email Table

A small Electron app that converts terminal box-drawing tables (the kind Claude and other CLIs print) and markdown tables into a clean, inline-styled HTML table you can paste straight into an email (Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail).

Why

Box-drawing tables look great in a monospace terminal but turn into garbage when pasted into an email. This app parses the table and copies a real <table> to your clipboard with inline styles, so the formatting survives the paste.

Supported input

• Box-drawing tables — ┌─┬┐ │ ├┼┤ └┴┘ style.
• Markdown tables — pipe-delimited with a |---|---| separator row.

Usage

npm install
npm start

1. Paste your table into the left pane.
2. Check the live preview on the right.
3. Click Copy table (or press ⌘/Ctrl+Enter) and paste into your email.

Toggle First row is header if your table has no header row.

How it works

• parser.js — normalizes either input style into { rows, hasHeader }.
• renderer.js — builds the inline-styled HTML and drives the UI.
• preload.js — writes both HTML and plain-text flavors to the clipboard via Electron's clipboard.write, so rich and plain paste targets both work.
