Answering my own question, I was able to make the tables look better in IE
using some simple CSS:
td {
padding: 6px;
}

Subject: [R] advice on making HTML tables
This might be a little off topic, but I am starting to produce some HTML
reports that contain mostly tables and they look great in Chrome but really bad
in IE, so I wanted to see if anyone knows of a better way or an easy fix. One
option I have used is to convert to PDF, but sometimes it is nice to have the
report in HTML format.
For my reproducible example, copy the text below into R Studio and hit the knit
button. If you look at the HTML output in Chrome the columns are nicely spread
out and in IE the columns are jammed right next to each other with minimal/no
spacing. Maybe there is a CSS fix?
