compiling to PDF. My table is not a sophisticated table made with a function, just a simple markdown table. is it possible to make it inlined (to the left) with the text?

| 1  | yes  | no    |
| 2  | no   | no    |

For the precious adjusting you can use vjust and hjust and some other options

You can do this in my huxtable package:

---
title: "Untitled"
author: "David Hugh-Jones"
date: "30/11/2021"
output: pdf_document
---

## Some text

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit etc.

```{r table, echo = FALSE}
library(huxtable)
head(mtcars, 3) |> 
      as_hux() |>
      set_position("wrapright")
```

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...

right-aligned table

You will have to build the table in R manually, but that looks pretty easy:

hux(Fant = c("Yes", "No", "Yes", etc.), Astic = rep("No", 15))
