How to create multiple dynamic tables

I need to create multiple dynamic tables. I've looked online about using repeaters and I've seen examples, but these examples cover always ONE table. I need to create MULTIPLE ones. For instance:

HTML

<table>
    <tr>
        <td colspan="4" style="width: 200px; font-weight: bold, font-size: xxx; etc etc">
              HTML blah blah blah
        </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>HTML</td>
       <td>LABEL CONTROL - basicallly a label control rendering data</td>
       <td>HTML</td>
       <td>LABEL CONTROL - bascially a label control rendering data</td>
     </tr>
     <tr>
         <td colspan="2">
         </td>
         <td colspan="2">
         </td>
     </tr>
       .
       .
       .
</table>

Then, I would need to create a second table, maybe a third, or fourth, or tenth, etc. How do I go about this? The data would be coming from a Sharepoint List item. I will also need to add style to the table and TDs. No buttons or data within the table will be changed by the user... basically, the table will only display data.

Thanks in advance.

What I have tried:

I've read about repeaters being used, but repeaters I've read about only cover creating dynamic rows and tablecells, not tables themselves.

You have read enough. It's time to get down to code. If you can create one dynamic table, what is stopping you from creating another one?

You can create one table and use DataTable.Copy() or DataTable.Clone() method to create multiple tables, see below snippet

C#

DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add("Id");
dt.Columns.Add("Name");
dt.Columns.Add("Email");
dt.TableName = "MasterTable";

//insert into DataTable
dt.Rows.Add("1", "test1", "test1@gmail.com");
dt.Rows.Add("2", "test2", "test2@gmail.com");
dt.Rows.Add("3", "test3", "test3@gmail.com");

//Creating another DataTable to copy
DataTable dt_copy = new DataTable();
dt.TableName = "CopyTable";
dt_copy = dt.Copy();
