Please dont' post HTML!

If Excel reads a HTML table in a file with the
extension ".xls" it will write Excel-HTML again.
This way the user does not realize that he is writing
HTML. 

This Excel-HTML can be parsed with python on linux.
Unfortunately the HTML of excel is broken. Maybe
you need to change some parts in the html file
before calling the
html parser.
