I'm my case, converting the bjam docs into quickbook, I have a table of 
options. With the option and a description, some options have a space 
between it and the value. But when the table is displayed the options 
wrap because the description is long. For example, with:

[table
  []
  [ [[^-f''' '''/Jambase/]]
    [Read /Jambase/ instead of using the built-in Jambase. Only one -f 
flag is permitted, but the /Jambase/ may explicitly include other files.] ]
]

And without the ''' ''' the row renders as:

-f       Read Jambase instead of using the built-in Jambase.
Jambase  Only one -f flag is permitted...

Having to use ''' ''' is cumbersome, makes the quickbook code hard 
to read on it's own, and error prone. I made at least three errors while 
inserting them in my case. Which I only discovered during/after 
conversion. And don't be misled by the teletype, I can see such things 
coming up outside of that.
