title: Style a kable table knitted to pdf
body: <p>I'm using kable to output a table from a data.frame in a R markdown document that is parsed to pdf.</p>
  
  <p>This is the output:
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/0Xye4.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/0Xye4.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>I would like to style the table. Specifically I'd like to:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Increase cell height. The padding argument passed to kable() function didn't have effect.</li>
  <li>Make the headings bold. (No idea about this).</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I call kaggle() in a function that is then called into the chunk in the .Rmd file.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your help</p>
