I'd like for my font size in the footnotes to be smaller than the text in the table, but can't figure it out. Is there something similar to kable\_styling where I can edit the text and color of rows in the table that can be used for footnotes? I am using RMarkdown to generate the HTML not LateX.

```{r mtcars}

 tab_mtcars <- knitr::kable( mtcars[ 1:5 , c( 1:4 )] , format = "html", col.names = c( "MPG", "CYL", "DISP" , "HP" ) ,  align = "lccc" , escape = F ) %>% kable_styling( full_width = T , bootstrap_options = c( "hover", "condensed" , "bordered"), position = "left") %>% add_header_above( c( "mtcars example" = 5 ) , bold = TRUE ) %>% footnote( general = c( "Here is the footnote where I would like font smaller than above" ),     general_title = "Note: ", footnote_as_chunk = T )

```

`r tab_mtcars`
