I didn't get any HTML formatting when I tried it but
something interesting happened.

Most of the cells contain text like this:
        1-2
        10-15
        8-11
        etc.

Somehow, these get interpreted as DATES and there's no way
to reform them back!

(My workaround was to change all the dashes to the
character string " vs. " and then everything worked fine.)
