The Kindle uses the Mobipocket file format, and Mobi files are essentially an encapsulated subset of HTML. When you use Mobi Creator to generate a Mobi file, it converts the input file to HTML and then builds a Mobi file from it.

If the formatting you want includes things like text attributes (bold/italic/etc.), font size changes or a Table of Contents, you'll have to massage the text first to add the proper HTML markup. Mobi Creator can't guess what you want. Neither can Calibre.

Where are the text files coming from, and what do you want to see when they are on the Kindle?

i don't have or want tables.

just novels as in the original book.

the text files have collected from many sources.

some from sharing ,some from others,some from novels conversions.

is there a standard setting on calibra?
