Headers are separated from previous table with empty string symbol. There's no empty string between a header and a table below it.

I think you need some assistance with the terminology you use first. The empty string is a string of zero length. In a string with one character like "x", there are two empty strings, one after and one before the 'x'.

From your examples, it seems that you might be calling a space between columns an "empty string" but I'm not sure. Maybe you mean "whitespace". Maybe you mean tabs. Maybe you mean nulls. You also seem to be calling blank lines "empty strings" but again, I'm unsure.
