knitr kable versus markdown pipe table

[codetricity]

knitr kable is more difficult to use, but looks more powerful.

Markdown pipe tables look simpler with a common row/column format. However, it doesn't have powerful formatting

This vignette has great information. In the Column / Row Specification, there is good details on colors for rows and adding images and quite a bit more. Looks useful for marketing-type information (in other words, a table that shows off the events that the R Consortium is sponsoring or attending).

There is a kableExtra package that we should install.

it looks pretty awesome.

It looks like it pretty easy to change the entire look of the table
