I am using RStudio with a Bookdown template and am trying to place my table in the middle of the page. I am using the position command as per the example code developer's page to center-align the table. Upon knitting to HTML, the table remains left-aligned.
This is what I tried at first:
```{r table-test, echo = FALSE}
# To get started
library(knitr)
library(kableExtra)
dt <- mtcars[1:5, 1:6]
# Now to the example...
# Note that the position is not the default "left" but rather "center"
kable(dt) %>%
kable_styling(bootstrap_options = "striped", full_width = F, position = "center")```
I also tried placing <center> before the R chunk and </center> afterwards. In both cases, the table remains left-aligned. In addition, the full_width = T command does not make a difference as the table remains as before.
This is the YAML header:

How can I center-align my table?
PS: since this may be a bug, I have reported it here.
