add another caption below table with kable
in R markdown, knitting to PDF, kable allows to include a 'caption' (which really is a table title), but I'd like to add another caption below the table in smaller font. Any ideas how to do that? (I don't want to just add text below in the main markdown doc because then it's number and not part of the table float).
Here's some code example:
library(knitr)
name <- c('Na~2~O', 'Ca', 'Ba')
value <- c(2,3,5)
data <- data.frame(name, value)
rownames(data) <- data[,1]
data$name <- NULL
kable(data, format = "pandoc", caption = 'some title')

It's not exactly another caption, but maybe adding a footnote withkableextrapackage. Take a look here

You could use xtable. For that you need to put your data into a list and give it an attribute "message".
```{r table1, results='asis', message=FALSE, echo = FALSE}
data <- list(data)
attr(data, "message") <- c("\textit{Note: }Here you can enter some",
"text as your desired caption",
"there's somewhere a workaround",
"not needing to put in text like this",
"but at least it works.")
library(xtable)
print(xtableList(data, caption="some title")
, caption.placement = "top"
, sanitize.text.function = identity
)
```
Yields
Data
name <- c('Na\textsubscript{2}O', 'Ca', 'Ba')
value <- c(2,3,5)
data <- data.frame(name, value)
rownames(data) <- data[,1]
data$name <- NULL
Note: In addition, for better formatting this solution should also be applicable here (not tried yet though).
