For simple tables, allow me to shamelessly promote my html-table package.

# example
table = Table.new("Call Records")
table.width = "80%"

IO.foreach(log_file){ |line|
    table.push(Table::Row.new(line.chomp))
}

File.open("test_out.html", "w+"){ |fh|
    fh.puts(table.html)
}

That isn't exactly what you were trying to do with your example, but I 
hope you get the idea.
