You can save a lot of finger-typing time by using it but you still need to understand what is really going on behind the hood, which is still far behind my goal. Also, since the default output format of `kable` is `markdown`, which doesn't support high-level table customization, it may not work well in many cases. I would recommend you to set the `format` option in each `kable` function or to define `options(knitr.table.format = 'html')` or `latex` somewhere in your document. |

| 11 | `knitr::kable` wins the favor of a lot of people, including me, by its ultimate simplicity. |

| 14 | Even though there are some other available packages in `R` to build beautiful tables, `kable` is still my go-to function whenever I want to build a table in `rmarkdown` or `Shiny`. After using `kable` for a long time, I can see the only reason that prevents people from using `kable` is its simplicityThis package is designed to enhance `kable`'s functionality without destorying its beauty of simplicity by using our favorite `pipe` syntax. |
