How to convert org-table to list?

Question

I've this table:

|H1    |H2    |H3    |
|------+------+------|
|text11|text12|text13|
|text21|text22|text23|
|...   |...   |...   |
|textN1|textN2|textN3|
|--------------------|

and i want this list:

* text11
- H1: text11
- H2: text12
- H3: text13

* text21
- H1: text21
- H2: text22
- H3: text23

...

* textN1
- H1: textN1
- H2: textN2
- H3: textN3

How do I do that?

Answer 1

EDIT: Updated code because I had misunderstood what the headings should be, and to switch to s-join because apparently @lap's version of Emacs doesn't have string-join from subr-x (s-join and string-join take their arguments in opposite order!).

EDIT: Last fix: OP is using an older version of Org Mode and the parsed table includes the symbol hline to indicate the position of horizontal lines, so we remq them away.

You can name the table and then use a :var declaration in a source block and Org Mode will parse the table for you!

#+NAME: laps-table
|H1    |H2    |H3    |
|------+------+------|
|text11|text12|text13|
|text21|text22|text23|
|...   |...   |...   |
|textN1|textN2|textN3|
|--------------------|

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var tbl=laps-table
  (require 's)
  (let ((headings (car tbl)))
    (s-join
     "\n"
     (mapcar
      (lambda (row)
        (concat
         (format "* %s\n- " (car row))
         (s-join
          "\n- "
          (cl-map 'list 
                  (lambda (hd x) (concat hd ": " x))
                  headings row))))
      (remq 'hline (cdr tbl)))))
#+END_SRC

Running the source block results in the following:
