Not without some code I think.
I can *almost* do it with babel, but there is some manual work involved.
For example, in the following file:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Table :noexport:
#+TBLNAME: actions
| abbrev | action |
|--------+-----------------|
| a | actionable |
| b | bibulous |
| c | califragilistic |
#+begin_src python :results output :exports none :var table=actions
print "* Results"
print "#+begin_html"
for row in table:
print "<b>%s</b> <u>%s</u>%s<br/>" % (row[0], row[1][0:1], row[1][1:])
print "#+end_html"
#+end_src
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I can evaluate the source block with C-c C-c and get a results block
like this[fn:1]:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+results:
#+begin_example
* Results
#+begin_html
<b>a</b> <u>a</u>ctionable<br/>
<b>b</b> <u>b</u>ibulous<br/>
<b>c</b> <u>c</u>alifragilistic<br/>
#+end_html
#+end_example
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
then manually delete the #+{begin,end}_example lines and *then* export the
resulting file.
You might also be able to do something with radio tables or dynamic blocks
but I have not gone down that path.

Footnotes:
[fn:1] You might have to do something like this
(setq org-babel-min-lines-for-block-output 1)
to convince babel to produce an example block rather than colon-preceded
literals.
