I am looking to create a table in a PDF document using rmarkdown
, knitr
and pander
. The table should be nearly identical to Table 1 shown below, except the asterisks should be bullets. Is this at all possible using only the R
libraries listed above?

Here is my code to produce the PDF document (and thus the table above):
---
title: "xxx"
author: "xxx"
date: "xxx"
output:
word_document: default
pdf_document:
fig_height: 4
fig_width: 10
highlight: tango
geometry: margin=3cm
---
```{r global_options, include=FALSE, echo=FALSE}
require(knitr)
opts_chunk$set(fig.width=8, fig.height=4, fig.path='figs/', dpi=500,
echo=FALSE, warning=FALSE, message=FALSE, results='hide')
```
```{r pandoc_options, include=FALSE, echo=FALSE}
require(pander)
panderOptions('digits', 3)
panderOptions('round', 3)
panderOptions('keep.trailing.zeros', TRUE)
panderOptions('keep.line.breaks', TRUE)
```
```{r concepts, echo=FALSE}
mytable = data.frame(Concept = c("Decoded", "XXX"),
Description = c("
\\\n
\\\n * Founded in 2011
\\\n * * Offers workshops to take people from zero skills and knowledge in programming through to coding a multi-platform app using HTML, CSS and Javascript in a single day
\\\n * * Rave reviews", "XXX"),
Website = c("http://decoded.com/uk/","XXX"))
```
``` {r concepts_descriptions, results = 'asis'}
pandoc.table(mytable, style = "multiline", justify = "left", caption = "Concepts and Descriptions")
```
EDIT @Roman thanks for that - however if I simply substitute, I get the following not-so-beautiful table ("period" bullets, poor formatting) ... The most important thing for me now is the formatting that comes with lists. Thanks!
