The rm_caption() function

Use gtcars to create a gt table. Add a header part with the tab_header() function, and, add a caption as well with tab_caption().

gt_tbl <-
  gtcars |>
  dplyr::select(mfr, model, msrp) |>
  dplyr::slice(1:5) |>
  gt() |>
  tab_header(
    title = md("Data listing from **gtcars**"),
    subtitle = md("`gtcars` is an R dataset")
  ) |>
  tab_caption(caption = md("**gt** table example."))
