OPML / Indented text data exchange among outliners (with a request to PPL)

Hi Alexander,

Many users ask about importing CSV. It is a simple format and easy to handle but the problem is how to use/format the information contained in a CSV file. For instance, speaking about ConnectedText, the Outline view can import OPML and indented text files. I don’t see how to fit CSV data in an Outline (at least in CT). Other programs have more than one column in the outline so CSV contents fits well. CSV could be imported inside a topic and converted into a table (quite easy), but I don’t see if it is useful or not.

I think that any software that handles data in a tabular way should have no problem in importing CSV file and make good use of the data.
