Without giving it a lot of thought, I'd do something to the effect of:

rows = [
    [ 'col1', 'col2', 'col3' ],
    [ 'cOl1', 'Col2', 'col3' ],
    [ 'col1', 'COL2', 'COl3' ],
]

output = ''

output << '<table>'
rows.each do |row|
    output << '<tr>'
    row.each do |col|
        output << "<td>#{col}</td>"
    end
    output << '</tr>'
end
output << '</table>'

puts output
