One option which doesn't completely solve the problem is to use gvisTable:

Here is a basic gvisTable:

```{r message=FALSE}
# install.packages("googleVis")
library(googleVis)
library(MASS)
data(Animals)
```

```{r results='asis'}
tab1 <- gvisTable(Animals, 
                   options = list(width = 600, height = 650, 
                                  page = "enable",
                                  pageSize = nrow(Animals)))
print(tab1, "chart")
```

• ?print.gvis explains some of the options for printing the gvis object.
• In partiuclar the tag="chart" option is required for R Markdown documents as this means that the output is just what is required for the object, rather than a complete HTML page as is the default.
