HTML table to emacs table?

Question

Judging by other feats of strength I've seen from the Emacs community, there MUST be a solution out there for this, but I can't seem to find it.

What's a way within Emacs to parse an HTML table and turn it into an Emacs table, either table.el or an org-mode table? The only way I can see to do it right now is to drag a chunk of a web page into Excel, then export that to CSV or something & import into Emacs. But I don't want to rely on either a browser or Excel, I just want to do it within Emacs, or at most with a shell tool.

Answer 1

pandoc can convert html to orgmode.
