When using kableExtra's cell_spec function, I cannot get the rmd document to format the target cell correctly. I can see the html format being applied, but it is rendering the html code itself, not the formatted value. I'm trying to format the p-value of a simple summary stats output.

I'm doing the same thing as below but with my own real data. For reference, this chunk produces the same problem.
mtcars %>% rownames_to_column('car') %>% select(car, mpg, disp, hp, wt) %>% mutate(wt = ifelse(wt < 2, kableExtra::cell_spec(wt, color = 'red', bold = TRUE), wt)) %>% kableExtra::kable() %>% kableExtra::kable_styling()
