Why do you want to produce Markdown output?  the tables package 
(lowercase t!) can produce output in either LaTeX or HTML.  Just tell 
knitr to leave the output alone, e.g. for PDF output

```{r results="asis"}
require(tables)
tab <- tabular( (Species + 1) ~ (n=1) + Format(digits=2)*
          (Sepal.Length + Sepal.Width)*(mean + sd), data=iris )
latex(tab)
```

or for HTML output

```{r results="asis"}
require(tables)
tab <- tabular( (Species + 1) ~ (n=1) + Format(digits=2)*
(Sepal.Length + Sepal.Width)*(mean + sd), data=iris )
html(tab)
```
