+## CSV
+
+You can import CSV files and let sphinx automatically convert them to human
+readable tables, using the following reStructuredText snipped:
+
+ ```eval_rst
+ .. csv-table::
+ :header: "Key", "Value"
+ :file: keyvalues.csv
+ ```
+
+Of course this can only be done from a markdown file that is included in the
+TOC tree.
