Fa2latex produces latex code that does not compile when produced in a Rmarkdown code chunk

问题

I'm having difficulty using psych::fa2latex in the context of an RMarkdown document to produce a factor analysis result. If you just run the first bit of code in an RMarkdown document in RStudio (1.0.153), you get an error message : " LaTeX Error: \caption outside float” and the document does not compile. Thanks for any help.

##Place In RMarkdown Document, save and compile.

title: "Test"
author: "Simon Kiss"
date: '2018-01-09'
output: pdf_document

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

```{r code, results='asis'}
data("Thurstone")
mod<-fa(Thurstone, nfactors=3)
fa2latex(mod)
```

However, if you take the raw latex output that is produced by fa2latex() and put it straight into a Sweave document, it compiles just fine.
