I did try it exactly as you described below with -T html option. When I
opened the html file with the browser, the table was missing.
I see what you mean by an "infinite page length". Maybe the html output
is done with post-processing and groff internally still imposes a page
length.
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I learnt one thing: the 'grog'
command.

My point was that then doing one of:
groff -t -man -Txhtml filename >file.html
groff -t -man -Thtml filename >file.html
should work since the page length for html is as clone to infinite as
can be specified.

The "supporting macro package" part suggests that the an macros probably
do not work with that, so the only way is to use a device with an
essentially endless page length.
And then use a browser to print it.
