Description

Right now if I visually select the following .csv content

header1,header2,header3
value 1,value2,value3

and then do <leader>tt it results in

| header1 | header2 | header3 |
| value 1 | value2  | value3  |

so I have to manually do || after inserting a line after the first line. Instead, I would like a config option to be able to convert the existing content to the following for markdown:

| header1 | header2 | header3 |
|---------|---------|---------|
| value 1 | value2  | value3  |

Is there currently an option to do that? If not, what would be a good name for that option if I wanted to submit a PR?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look for existing configuration options in vim table mode that control header behavior, and propose a new option like 'table mode auto header separator' to add a separator row after the header.
