Bob,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, you are right that I can generate html file, despite the fact that
the table structure was wrong. The problem found to be in another table
in which colwidth was given as ???; I was using XXE without learning the
table tags. Now, I learned the table and informaltable tags, and is
working fine.
Thanks for your help, and my apology for all those unnecessary messages.
