Cannot render math and cross-reference a kableExtra HTML table in Quarto

[mvuorre]

Hi,

(I am cross-posting this from the Quarto discussions, please delete if inappropriate.)

I am trying to make tables with kableExtra inside a Quarto HTML document. The tables contain math but it doesn't render, unless I wrap the table in cat(). Then, however, I can't use cross references.

A reprex gist is here: https://gist.github.com/mvuorre/3663f6be89f3ab029a28798f8ea7b9a4
The output is here: https://matti.quarto.pub/math-in-kableextra-html-tables/

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

(Quarto Version: 1.2.269; kableExtra version 1.3.4)
