I try to include latex code (a table) into my Rmarkdown document. I need to use latex instead of other options because the table has to be in a certain format.

The problem I encounter is the following error:

! LaTeX Error: Environment threeparttable undefined.
Error: Failed to compile confounder_table.tex. See
confounder_table.log for more info. Execution halted

This is the table I include in the .Rmd document. I want to render it to pdf and/or docx and I use knitr for that (all in Rstudio). After working on that for 2 hours I hope that you can give me a hint how to solve this. It works for docx and html but not for the pdf format.

This is table code:

begin{table}[tbp]

begin{center}

begin{threeparttable}

caption{Descriptive statistics included in the present study.}

begin{tabular}{ll}

toprule

cyl & multicolumn{1}{c}{Some columnname}\

midrule

4.00 & 26.66 ± 4.51\

6.00 & 19.74 ± 1.45\

8.00 & 15.1 ± 2.56\

bottomrule

addlinespace

end{tabular}

begin{tablenotes}[para]

textit{Note.} There were no signnificant differences in the means between the groups.

end{tablenotes}

end{threeparttable}

end{center}

end{table}

I found the solution: I had to load a specific library for that with:

library(kableExtra)
