The output from the knitted HTML from R markdown does show the paged table but does not on github when I preview it through htmlpreview.github.io.
Something I noticed was that the .html code was different when opened through chrome and vs. The vs code matches the inspect elements on github
Code from R markdown (``` changed to ``'):
---
output:
html_document:
df_print: paged
editor_options:
chunk_output_type: inline
---
```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
``'
```{r }
library(rmarkdown)
paged_table(Apr22, options = list(max.print = 5))
```
