Steve, If you're looking for a way to embed tables from csv created in a spreadsheet program (usually easier than editing csv or markdown table by hand, unless the table is very small) into a markdown document, you might consider using R-markdown to parse csv and display it using `pander` ( http://rapporter.github.io/pander/), `knitr::kable` or other markdown-table-rendering functions.
