I'm a fairly new Geany user and I don't use these file types often. When needed for long lists, they're handy.

I found nothing in Geany's Help about delimiter-separated formats - CSV, Tab-separated, etc.  Either importing files already in those formats or exporting "lists" from Geany in some type of delimiter-separated format, or just converting plain text lists to a delimiter-separated formats.

One simple example, if I copy data from a web page - or many sources, where it's already in list form (may be plain text or HTML or...) - say, with peoples last & first name, plus something like page numbers beside each name where the names are indexed in a book.

Sanders, Jill               105, 115, 140 Smith, John Adams   122, 135

This may be formatted in several ways on a web site. I've found copying "identical looking" lists, from the same web site but on different pages & pasting to Geany may like the above example.

Example 2:  Or on the web page, it already looks similar to; Sanders, Jill     105, 115, 140 Smith, John Adams     122, 135

Even though the lists MAY be displayed identically on a web site's different pages, the exact formatting in the web document, determines how it looks when pasted into Geany. Or if some data looks like example 2, there's not much can be done to automatically convert it to look like Example 1?

I'm not sure if Geany has the ability - itself or with plugins, to convert & save  examples like these to delimiter-separated formats.

So whether to save / export from Geany  or get it into the proper format so when pasted in a spreadsheet (like LibreOffice), where Example 2 looks more like example 1, without a WHOLE  lot of manually entering commas, spaces, tabs.

Thanks.
