title: Column name formatting in KableExtra in R
body: <p>Latex command are not formatting the column names as I intended.  </p>
  
  <pre><code>library(kableExtra)
  kable(test,"latex", col.names = c('Mean','\\textit{N}' ,'Strongly\nDisagree','Disagree','Neither Agree\norDisagree','Agree','Strongly\nAgree'))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The output I am getting is:</p>

  <p>I have tried both latex commands and R-markdown commands.</p>
  
  <p>The N should be italicized and Strong disagree, Neither Agree or Disagree, and Strongly Agree should be broken up on two lines.</p>
