  • Clean Output: No executable code in the generated HTML

Common Use Cases

  • Web Pages: Display database content on websites

  • Responsive and accessible

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: Can I embed the generated HTML directly into my website? A: Yes. You can paste the HTML (and optional <style> block) into your page templates or CMS, then customize styling as needed.
  • Q: Why is CSS optional? A: Some users want only the bare table markup so they can apply their own site-wide styles. Others prefer a ready-made styled table.
  • Q: How are special characters handled? A: Cell content is HTML-escaped so characters like <, >, and & render safely without breaking the page.
  • Q: Does this generate a full HTML document? A: No, it outputs just the table (and optional CSS). Wrap it in a full HTML document if you need a standalone page.
  • Q: Can I make the table responsive? A: The generated HTML is standard table markup. You can wrap it in a scrollable container or apply responsive CSS frameworks to control behavior on small screens.
