 <p>By default, a bootstrap table takes 100% of the width. It is supposed to use together with its grid system to scale the table properly. However, when you are writing a rmarkdown document, you probably don’t want to write your own css/or grid. For some small tables with only few columns, a page wide table looks awful. To make it easier, you can specify whether you want the table to have <code>full_width</code> or not in <code>kable_styling</code>. By default, <code>full_width</code> is set to be <code>TRUE</code> for HTML tables (note that for LaTeX, the default is <code>FALSE</code> since I don’t want to change the “common” looks unless you specified it.)</p>
