I tried to add HTML into a post. I am not sure what the HTML tag button does. I could not get the following to show up as a table:

<table>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>2</td>
</tr>
</table>
It is my educated guess that you cannot post a table on this forum like you've included in the above code. The reason is because VBulletin (BB software used here) provides that administrator the option of what html tags are allowed or not allowed. It seems to me that the only tags that are allowed on this site are those that are probably the default tags you'll find already provided for in the edit window and not any additional ones that would need the HTML "< >" brackets to accomplish.

If I were administrator I would do no differently because some strange and annoying things could be done either intentionally or accidentally if all tags were allowed. The only thing I think you can do with those HTML tags is demonstrate or show HTML code (not their renderings) in a segregated window if you don't want to just have them included in the body of your text. Not functional but could be useful for a user to have that ability.

If my educated guess is incorrect, hopeful Admin will help in clarifying!
