HTML codes for Conjoint Experiment

Question

Dear dedicated Qualtrics users I am a doctoral student who is preparing to construct conjoint experiment in Qualtrics. Since my university does not have Qualtrics DesignXM where conjoint module is supported but only have a plain, regular version of Qualtrics, I decided to construct it outside the Qualtrics space and import it in Qualtrics. Following Weber’s(2021) method (A step-by-step procedure to implement discrete choice experiments in Qualtrics. Social Science Computer Review, 39(5)), I created “advanced format TXT file” using Stata and import the TXT file in Qualtrics. However, below is what I got from my HTML code that I wrote in the TXT file.  Obviously, I need 4 more cells under the Option 3 column, and I just cannot figure out what I did wrong with my HTML code. Below is the HTML code that I wrote in Stata to construct tables, and can someone please let me know the correct HTML code that I need to use to make the cells appear under the Option 3 column by any chance?Your help would be deeply appreciated.  *** 3.
