awk programming -Passing variable to awk for loop

Thanks for the quick reply Akshay.

Sample Input File:

Quote:

Header 1
=====
Line1
Line2
Line3
Line4

Column1 Column2 Column3 Column4
Row1 1 2 3
Row2 3 4 B
Row3 DEF XYZ 6
Row4 Sample Sam1 Sam2


Header 2
=====
Line1
Line2
Line3
Line4

Column1 Column2 Column3 Column4
Row1 1 2 3
Row2 3 4 B
Row3 DEF XYZ 6
Row4 Sample Sam1 Sam2

Using your own inputs from previous posts I could process the lines till "text table [in bold text above]". The text table is delimited by "space".
I need to process the variable "D[N,M]" which are actually table rows.
The value of D[N,M] is :
Column1 Column2 Column3 Column4,
Row1 1 2 3 ,
Row2 3 4 B,
Row3 DEF XYZ 6,
Row4 Sample Sam1 Sam2


for each iteration of the loop.

My output needs to be as below.

Output HTML code would look like this:
