Create a table in thymeleaf
Although, it's late answer. It's work more specifically, like
<tr th:each="smokeTest : ${smokeTests}">
<td><p th:text="${smokeTest.name}"></p></td>
</tr>
Simple solution which comes to mind first:
<th:block th:each="smokeTest : ${smokeTests}">
<tr>
<td th:text="${smokeTest.name}">A Smoke Test'</td>
</tr>
</th:block>

You must put th:text as an attribute of a tag, so
<tr th:each="smokeTest : ${smokeTests}">
<td th:text="${smokeTest.name}">A Smoke Test'</td>
</tr>
should run.
