Answer 1

If you are writing an RMarkdown document, you can customize your HTML tables using style sheets.

You can do this by adding a CSS parameter to your YAML header. Something like that:

---
title: "My HTML Doc"
output:
  html_document:
    css: styles.css
---

To increase the spacing between columns, you can, for example, add a few paddings to the left of the cells. So in your files styles.cssyou can add something like:

th, td {
    padding-left: 10px;
    text-align: left;        
}

CSS RMarkdown, , . CSS HTML, , .
