Vishal,

HTML Parser is not really the right tool for creating content -- it's a 
parser.

Building a web page from scratch using the set of node constructors 
provided would be fairly tedious, and what's the point... you are just 
going to convert it to text anyway.
But, to answer your questions, the end node needs to be set explicitly 
with something like:
  TagNode end = new new TagNode ();
  end.setTagName ("/TABLE");
  table_tag.setEndTag (end);
and the children would need to be added separately with something like:
  body_tag.setChildren (new NodeList (new TextNode ("hi")));
or
  body_tag.getChildren ().add (new TextNode ("hi"));

You can also bootstrap yourself into it by parsing fragments and then 
editing the pieces...
   parser.setInputHtml ("<body align=valign>hi</body>");
   body_tag = parser.parse (null).elementAt (0);
   body_tag.setChildren (new NodeList (new TextNode ("hi")));
