About HTML and XLS

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the markup language web pages are built from — structured text with links, images, and styling defined by tags.

XLS (Microsoft Excel 97-2003 Workbook) is Excel's legacy binary format, still common on older systems though superseded by XLSX.

What to expect: HTML carries little to no formatting of its own, so the XLS output will start plain — you can add styling afterward in a compatible editor.
