@title[#:tag "using-tbl"]{Using @racket[tbl]}

This section provides a brief look at some common use cases for @racket[tbl].

@section[#:tag "intro-basic"]{Working with CSVs}

A large amount of data ships around the world as comma-separated files. For example, I found a @hyperlink[dataset of trees in Fingal county, Ireland](https://data.gov.ie/dataset/trees). (It is just north of the city of Dublin.)

The CSV file looks like this:
