In case it helps, here is a description of the issue:

I could not figure out how to ask kable_styling() to omit producing a table environment. The reason this is desired is because LyX already produces a table environment and it's nice to have LyX control this table environment for various reasons. Thus, ideally LyX would control the table environment and kable would output only the tabular code. This can be achieved by changing the table environment generated by kable_styling as follows:

  kable_styling(table.env = "@empty")

However, that is a hack. I wonder if it would make sense if table.env is set to NULL or NA for no table environment to be output.
