"mproving PDF-to-Text Conversion: Integrating Tables as Markup Text on a Page-by-Page Basis

[Isha09Garg]

Is it possible to integrate text seamlessly with tables, essentially converting tables into markup text, to enhance the quality of PDF-to-text conversion on a per-page basis?

Hi @Isha09Garg, and thanks for your interest in this library. It's a really interesting functionality you propose, but my instinct is that this is best handled by a third-party library, given the extensive amount of customization I can imagine users wanting. (E.g., How to represent more complex text layouts in Markdown, or how to determine whether a line of text should be rendered as a Markdown heading or not, etc.) If you or another member of the community wants to build that, I'd be happy to link to the project from pdfplumber's documentation.
