How to use this tool

Worked example
For the lines “Smith | 2020 | Gardens improve mood” and “Jones | 2022 | Balcony plants need less water”, the tool builds a 2-row table with Author, Year and Finding columns in that order.
What this tool does not do / Limits
This tool only formats the lines you enter into a table. It does not find papers, verify findings, or summarise research for you.
Frequently asked questions
What format must each line use?
Author, a pipe character, year, a pipe character, then the finding, for example: Smith | 2020 | Gardens improve mood.
What happens to a line without pipes?
It is listed as an unparsed line below the table, so nothing you typed is silently dropped.
