What's the script you use to turn a csv into readable table in markdown?

the reason I liked this format:
![Table name](./tables/table.csv)

was that I could edit the csv files in my spreadsheet processor and keep 
them as tables in the pdf I generated.
This lets me sort items, add columns, move columns around very easily, 
using a tool built for that job.

If someone else has a better format, that's great.

Using a script is less great.
