If you can use awk, it's quite simple:

ps | awk -F " " 'NR > 1 {printf("<td>%s</td><td>%s</td><td>%s</td><td>%s</td><td>%s</td>\n", $1, $2, $3, $4, $5);}'

The only problem I see is that $5, the COMMAND field, is truncated
after the first space character, so command line arguments will be
missing.
