Problems with rowspans #7

Hello! I've been using this package and stuck with the bug.

I have a table like that in HTML -> example But when I export it to excel with ExcelParser, I have some extra rows in the excel table. Take a look at the screenshot, I drew them in red.

The code I used to generate the .xslx file

from html2excel import ExcelParser
parser = ExcelParser('./test.html')
parser.to_excel('./converted_file.xlsx')

I'm not sure how browsers parse html files but they do seem to adjust even if our html tables are erroneous. Taking that approach here would be disingenuous as the goal of this library is to create an exact replica of how it would look on excel.
