How it can be raised is through achieving more productivity and employment generation in the sectors that can create big changes is decisive element for the country’s transition. Here comes the role of industrial sector. The industrial sector is known for generating huge employment with minimum skill addition. Similarly, no other sector has higher level of tradability as the industrial sector (means a country can earn big income through exports). Graduating to an expanded services sector without undergoing industrialisation will be self-defeating and unsuitable to a big economy like India. Depending on services sector for exports will not reward as other countries like to protect their services sector from the inflow of India’s skilled persons. If India can increase the contribution of the industrial sector in GDP from the present 30 per cent to say 40-45 %, it implies that sizable income and employment are created in the sector.</p> <ol style="

Answer 1

try with this below snippet, basically all the table tags are replaced to iframe.

let staticHtml = `<h1>This HTML snippet is now rendered with native components !</h1> <h2>Enjoy a webview-free and blazing fast application</h2> <img src="i.imgur.com/dHLmxfO.jpg?2" /> <em style="textAlign: center;">Look at how happy this native cat is</em> <h2>HTML Table</h2> <table> <tr> <th>Company</th> <th>Contact</th> <th>Country</th> </tr> <tr> <td>Alfreds Futterkiste</td> <td>Maria Anders</td> <td>Germany</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Centro comercial Moctezuma</td> <td>Francisco Chang</td> <td>Mexico</td> </tr></table> `;
  //
  let content = staticHtml;
  const tables = staticHtml.match(/(<table(?:.|\n)*?<\/table>)/g);
  
  tables.map((table) => {
    content = content.replace(table, `<iframe srcdoc="${table}"></iframe>`);
  });

console.log("content after including iframe =>", content)

Not Recommended Method

Or use inline styles for every single cell in the html content

<td style="border: 1px solid black">Hashan</th>
