Markdown insert tabulator (R)

Question

How can I insert tabulators in R with markdown code? I wanted to display .sth as shown:

attendees:  33

sick leave:    1

presenters:  5

The above text is in the format of markdown text and the number is in the form of inline R code.  If we use space it won't work since there is variably spaced font.

I am working on both HTML and PDF output. I have a windows-10 platform.

When I tried researching on markdown table it gave me too big a markdown table. If I get a huge markdown table on how to create tabs and tabbed browsing. This is very complicated. So I tried using \t even this didn't work.

You can use add-inBeautifyR which gives a beautiful table as the output.

To get it you need to go to the banner under Tools. There is an option called as Add-ins button load BeautifyR

OR

You can use the Kable. You need to install the Kable package

Code to install is as follows:

install.packages("Kable")
