title: How to keep all rows of a table on the same page in RMarkdown when rendering a PDF file?
body: <p>LaTex will keep all rows of a table on the same page if possible. However, I found that, if I render a RMarkdown document into a PDF file, a table may span two pages if it is near the end of a page. This is odd to me because I believe the RMarkdown file is actually converted to a LaTex file before generating the PDF file.</p>

  <p>If this is saved in <code>temp.Rmd</code> and then converted to a PDF file by <code>render("temp.Rmd", output_file="temp.pdf")</code>, the first twelve rows appear on page one and the remaining rows appear on page 2:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/bCdjvxo.jpg" alt="A table on two pages"></p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to ask render (or pandoc?) to add additional lines before a table if necessary such that all rows of a table will appear on the same page?</p>
