# Usage: 
# make_wiki_table(<in>, <out>)
# or make_wiki_table(<in>, <out>, <sep>, <format>)
# in:     input file path (input file contains table with header)
# out:    output file path
# sep:    separator used in input table file (e. g. "\t", ";" or ","), 
#         default white space (i. e. one or more spaces, tabs...)
# format: formatting options that should be added to wiki table header,
#         default none
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# example for usage:
# make_wiki_table("table.csv", "wiki_table.txt", ";", "class='wikitable' border='1' style='width:300px'")
