TSV vs HTML: Format Comparison
Key differences between the two formats
| Feature | TSV | HTML |
|---|---|---|

| Visual rendering | Raw text in browser | Rendered styled table in browser |
| Headers | First row treated as headers by convention | Explicit <th> header elements |
| Styling | No styling support | Full CSS borders, colors, and fonts |
| Browser viewing | Plain text only | Visual table with formatting |
| Embedding in web pages | Cannot embed directly | Paste directly into HTML pages |
| Sharing | Best for technical users | Shareable with anyone via browser |
