grid_tables extension on RMarkdown

Question

I'm having a issue trying to render a pdf_document (and html too) with grid_tables markdown's extension. Bellow is a minimal example and it's not rendering to a grid table.

Is this an issue with RMarkdown, my code, or anything else?

Thank you! Rafael.

And here is the call to pandoc from RStudio:

/usr/lib/rstudio/bin/pandoc/pandoc +RTS -K512m -RTS teste.utf8.md --to latex --from markdown+autolink_bare_uris+ascii_identifiers+tex_math_single_backslash+grid_tables --output teste.pdf --template /home/rafael/R/i686-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4/rmarkdown/rmd/latex/default-1.17.0.2.tex --highlight-style tango --latex-engine pdflatex --variable graphics=yes --variable 'geometry:margin=1in'

output file: teste.knit.md

Output created: teste.pdf

You need a newline between the code and table:

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
```
