` should be installed to ease the csv import workflow.
The CSV Importer plugin lets you import basic csv files to DMX.
It can import and update simple topics and their first level child topics.
Right now, only the data type "Text" is supported.
Your csv file *has* to use the pipe ``|`` character as a delimiter.
Here is an example file:
.. code:: bash
deep.web | dmx.base.url | dmx.bookmarks.description
site | https://www.dmx.berlin | DMX
