I am using rmarkdown to generate formal letters that include 2 signature positions. I would like the names and positions to be at the left and right margin of the document but with left aligned. The names and positions are of different lengths so \hfill and \hspace{110pt} does not do the job. Above the name the signature should be centre aligned. I am using a table to do this like

    ---
title: ""
output: pdf_document
---

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)

df<-data.frame(name=c("Tom Short", "Gagagagagagaga Long"), position=c("CEO", "Chief Technology Evangelist and Much Much More"))

```

![](JohnHancocksSignature.png){width=25%} \hfill ![](JohnHancocksSignature.png){width=25%} 

\
\begingroup
\noindent
\begin{tabular}{@{}lll@{}}
Nina Static & \hspace{110pt} & `r df$name[1]` \\
Chief Static & \hspace{110pt} & `r  df$position[1]`\\
\end{tabular}
\endgroup

\noindent
\begin{tabular}{@{}lll@{}}
Nina Static & \hspace{110pt} & `r df$name[2]` \\
Chief Static & \hspace{110pt} & `r  df$position[2]`\\
\end{tabular}
\endgroup

What I would like is that the names and positions are left aligned each underneath the other and the signature centered above like this

You can try this.

Find out a better \hspace for your pics...

You could use the varwidth package like this:

---
title: ""
output: 
  pdf_document:
    keep_tex: true
header-includes:
  - \usepackage{varwidth}
---

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)

df<-data.frame(name=c("Tom Short", "Gagagagagagaga Long"), position=c("CEO", "Chief Technology Evangelist and Much Much More"))

```


\begin{varwidth}{.5\linewidth}
\centering\includegraphics[width=3cm]{example-image-duck}

\begin{varwidth}{\linewidth}

Chief static
\end{varwidth}
\end{varwidth}
\hfill
\begin{varwidth}{.5\linewidth}

\begin{varwidth}{\linewidth}
`r df$name[1]`

`r  df$position[1]`
