`kableExtra` is tricky to install #49

Closed PabRod closed 2 years ago

PabRod commented 2 years ago

Problem

The dependency kableExtra creates beautifully formatted tables. We are using it for illustrating an imported (mandatory) package that expands the functionality of our first version.

It has two problems:

  1. It depends on system libraries, making it not 100% straightforward to install.
    • Particularly, it seems to require this.
  2. We are not generating beautiful tables after all.

Solution

Use knitr instead.
