Perhaps by diverting it somewhere else? (after the example in xtable's  
help page)

capture.output(print(tli.table, type="html"), file="HTout.html")

R is not an HTML editor, so it would seem less than intuitive to send  
it to a character variable. It would not work to assign the value of  
capture.output since that is an invisible NULL.
