That works -- to some extent.  But, that means that the formatting of the 
table is completely dependent on the number of spaces between the 
elements.  It is essentially the same kind of formatting of tables I did on 
my first typewriter about 40 years ago.  Any nontrivial change is 
troublesome, and you have to stick to fixed size fonts like 
Courier.  Modern editors have moved far beyond that point.

This is about generating a table in a text document from R type 
output.  This type of table increases flexibility in respect to formatting.

Yes.
