There's MoreThanOneWayToDoIt... from simple string formatting to a 
full-blown template engine.

Markup should only convey semantic informations - presentation is best 
done using css. IOW : presentation-related stuff in the html should be 
restricted to css class declarations.

As I said, wrt/ html generation, there are quite a lot of possible 
solutions - FWIW, generating an html table from a set of tabular data is 
nothing difficult. So without more information on the context, it's hard 
to give any valuable advice. Are you doing a web application ? If yes, 
you should already use a template engine, so just use it. Else, why is 
your application generating html at all ?
