The following command on your specimen document (saved as deyan.tex)
created:

  htlatex deyan.tex "html,xhtml"

?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

</head>

<body>
  <!--l. 8-->

  <div class="array">
    <table id="TBL-1" class="array" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
      <colgroup id="TBL-1-1g">
        <col id="TBL-1-1" />
      </colgroup>

      <tr style="vertical-align:baseline;">
        <td style="white-space:nowrap; text-align:center;">
          <div class="td11">
            <span class="cmmi-10">test</span>
          </div>
        </td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </div>
</body>
</html>

Hope this helps.
