Description
The column separator is an amazing feature!
Taking a logical step forward, how about horizontal row separators too? To help avoid consecutive table entries mixing in with each other.
With both column and row separators at hand, this will help the user parse their table perfectly.
Ref: A similar request I'd posted on Tabula that had garnered a lot of attention: https://github.com/tabulapdf/tabula/issues/409
Also, I understand Excalibur is a frontend to Camelot. So the column separator feature might be there in Camelot and you've brought it to user interface here. Perhaps there's no row separator feature in Camelot itself yet? Can someone clarify? Then I'll go post this request there.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by inspecting the existing column separator feature in Excalibur and how it connects to Camelot. Determine whether row separators require changes in the interface, extraction flow, or both; done means horizontal separators can be configured and reliably separate consecutive table entries.
