How do I resize an R output table in markddown?

I've been looking for some time to resize a table at markdown so it doesn't break. I thought about reducing the source or forcing it not to break, but how would I do that? I only found solutions using kable or kableextra, however I would like the default style. I left the data in the url.

We could change the width in options. Check the current width and make those changes

Once we are done, reset the options again

> options(op)
> options()$width
[1] 167
