You can create nice html tables with R Markdown and they even look ok in Word.   The main function I will show here is `kable()` with the kableExtra extensions.  Read more on kableExtra [here](http://haozhu233.github.io/kableExtra/) and see many more examples.

```{r setup, warning=FALSE}
library(knitr)
dt <- mtcars[1:5, 1:6]
```

Then you can make a basic table that looks ok in html, Word or PDF:

```{r}
kable(dt, align="lcccccc")
```

If you would like fancy html tables, try the kableExtra package:

```{r setup2, warning=FALSE}
library(kableExtra)
```

This will make a nice table if you knit to html but will not work in Word.

```{r}
kable_styling(kable(dt, align = "lcccccc", booktabs = TRUE))
```

You can easily create some nice effects for your tables in html documents like tables that float to the side.  

```{r fancy}
tab <- kable(dt, booktabs = TRUE)
kable_styling(tab, bootstrap_options = "striped", full_width = FALSE, position = "float_right")
```

You can also make tables in raw markdown but you are limited in what you can achieve.  Read more about markdown table syntax [here](https://www.markdownguide.org/extended-syntax#tables).
