It would be nice to convert a HTML table to Excel.

In this example I use the non-existing function addHtmlTable:

$table = <<<HTML
<table>
    <tr>
        <td>Some content here</td>
        <td>More content here</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Some content for the next row</td>
        <td>More content!</td>
    </tr>
</table>    
HTML;

$xlsx = new CreateXlsx();

// This will add the table to cell A1. The table has two rows and two columns, so the table will be put in cell range A1:B2.
$xlsx->addHtmlTable($table, 'A1');

// This will add the table to cell C5. The table has two rows and two columns, so the table will be put in cell range C5:D6.
$xlsx->addHtmlTable($table, 'C5');

The contents of each <td> can be added by using addHtml internally, while putting all nodes in the td in one cell. See my other forum topic.
