Attempt to standardize csv as table format:

Nice render by github
Non-binary
Good export/import via Calc and Excel (when editing plain text becomes unmanagable)

@David-Estevez In the specific case of spreadsheets containing formulas, such as https://github.com/roboticslab-uc3m/teo-hardware-manual/issues/26, would it make sense to maintain duplicates? Maybe append an extra line pointing to source?

The key questions here are:

Do you need to visualize the data from GitHub? Which format looks better on GitHub for that particular table?
In the case of needing to visualize the data:
- Do you want to generate the markdown table each time the .ods is updated by hand/with a script? Or do you prefer to export it directly with Libreoffice?

Studying Google Sheets as an option.

It seems it would be easy to render the .csv files in gitbook. From https://plugins.gitbook.com/browse?q=csv we see:

https://plugins.gitbook.com/plugin/include-csv 0.3.0 updated 1 year ago, maintained by TakuroFukamizu
https://plugins.gitbook.com/plugin/csv-render 0.3.1 updated 7 months ago, maintained by wacdeben (erased github user), says "This is the little bug fix version from the raw gitbook-plugin-include-csv"
