R Language Creating reports with RMarkdown Printing tables
Example
There are several packages that allow the output of data structures in form of HTML or LaTeX tables. They mostly differ in flexibility.
Here I use the packages:
- knitr
- xtable
- pander
For HTML documents

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
library(knitr)
library(xtable)
library(pander)
df <- mtcars[1:4,1:4]
```
# Print tables using `kable`
```{r, 'kable'}
kable(df)
```
# Print tables using `xtable`
```{r, 'xtable', results='asis'}
print(xtable(df), type="html")
```
# Print tables using `pander`
```{r, 'pander'}
pander(df)
```

print(xtable(df, caption="My Table"))

pander(df)

How can I stop xtable printing the comment ahead of each table?
options(xtable.comment = FALSE)
