• Provide area to paste input
• Text input for ignore_regex (defaults to ",|%|\\[.\\]")
• Checkbox for has_row_titles (defaults to FALSE)
• Numeric input/multiselect dropdown for totals_rows (defaults to NULL)
• Button to convert
• Verbatim output
• Button to copy to clipboard

• Use 'e.g. 4' for text of placeholder (more obvious that it needs to be left alone/changed).
• Use integers for the column in the example table that is fully numeric.
• Is there a better icon for the 'Convert to Govspeak' button?
• Rename 'Convert to Govspeak' to just 'Convert'?
• Link to blog post about this app in particular.
• Provide a brief description of the app's purpose.

Doesn't matter too much as long as the app serves its purpose and is useable. But may want to prettify it once all the features are included.

• Upload a Word docx
• Extract all tables (see blog post)
• Export somehow (button to download text file?)

You can ignore certain strings when assessing cell values for their type. At the moment this requires the user to provide a regular expression, though there is a pre-filled default. A better approach might be to allow the user to input individual sets of characters without needing to provide it as a regular expression directly. There could be a series of tickboxes in the form 'ignore square brackets', etc, but I don't know all the possible things that people might want to ignore, so we should keep the input relatively 'open', I think.

The app begins to load when you click the link (the hexagon loading animation plays), then it goes blank and finally 404s. This wasn't a problem when I used the Shinylive demo app.

I missed this Click here for an example table to copy. in the app as the highlight isn't working for this link (but does for the others). I noticed you gave a table to copy when I looked at the code 😄

So:

| Column 1              | Column 2 |
| :-------------------- | -------: |
| Text                  |    1,000 |
| Some much longer text |    2,000 |

Rather than:

| Column 1 | Column 2 |
| :---- | ----: |
| Text | 1,000 |
| Some much longer text | 2,000 |

The former will be easier to read and check by eye.
