It would be convenient to convert a table to text, such as an unordered list. In practice, I copy the table as markdown, convert pipeline characters to asterisks (in a text editor), and paste back into Bear, which renders each row as an unordered list of asterisk-delimited text. In addition to convert, it would be nice to be able to paste a table or single column as an unordered list.
