In my lib/tasks/populate.rake file I have to write some hard coded data in proper html format with proper alignment. How can I write it in the populate file? Is there any way to parse the HTML tags after writing?For random data I know there is populator gem. But I want some hard coded data. Please some help me out.

First write html data inside html file then align and validate file. If everything is write then copy html data inside file to lib/tasks/populate.rake file. There are many online tools that can do validation. http://validator.w3.org/

You need to use Ruby heredoc syntax to align your code
text = <<END
<p>Whatever you want to write in whatever form</p>
line with spaces in front
Another indented line
Account No. : XYZ
END
text = text.html_safe
There should be no spaces before the closing END.
