Right, now I understand. You want HSSF to parse html markup for you. The short answer to your question then is no, it cannot do this. You will have to create a tool to parse the html and extract the information from the markup to create the cells. As an example of what I mean, what font and what size should HSSF use to render the example you gave?
Just a simple question, why do you want to use HSSF to populate an Excel spreadsheet in this manner? Did you know that you can use Excel to open an html file and that it - Excel that is - can parse the markup and render the page for you? A short way around your problem would be to use Java to create a text file containing the html code and then ask it to start Excel for you using the Desktop class.
