```
kable(head(mtcars) %>%
  kable_styling(bootstrap_options = c("striped", "hover"))

```

A normal R Markdown document, utilizing a kable table *(see above)*, is quite striking and looks like this:

However, when I use the same code chunk in blogdown, the kable table is printed in a more minimalist fashion, which I don't really want. It's just hard to read:

How do I get blogdown to maintain the properties of a normal kable table? I have updated all my packages via `update.packages(ask = FALSE, checkBuilt = TRUE)` and `tinytex::tlmgr_update()`.
