-### Linebreak in kableExtra functions
+### Linebreak in other kableExtra functions
 If you have a need to put a linebreak in `kableExtra` functions such as `add_header_above` and `group_rows`, just go ahead and use `\n` and it will be automatically converted. Note that this feature is controlled by the `escape` option in those functions.
