I want my Rmarkdown, when converted to .md, text chunk output to be wrapped in code ticks (``` * ```).
For example as it is now, an Rmarkdown document like so:
---
title: 'This is a test title'
date: '`r Sys.Date()`'
output:
md_document:
variant: commonmark #or gfm
---
```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(
echo = TRUE,
message = FALSE,
warning = FALSE
)
```
```{r echo=FALSE}
library(palmerpenguins)
```
```{r echo=TRUE}
penguins
```
This is some text.
Rendered with rmarkdown::render("path/to/test.Rmd") to:
```
penguins
```

How do you get the table (penguins) that is output in the .md document to be wrapped in code ticks (```)?
At the moment, I can get it to work if I use:
---
output:
html_document:
keep_md: TRUE
---
In this example the .md that is generated and kept has all text output surrounded by code ticks. How do I get this without writing an html document?
I've tried updating the s3 object knit_print() but can't figure out how to get it to work. I've also tried various flavors of markdown and looked at pandoc add ons but can't figure it out. I've been googling for hours please help.

A simple approach is to provide a class to class.output chunk option, then the chunk output will be wrapped inside codeticks (triple backticks) automatically.

title: 'This is a test title'
date: '`r Sys.Date()`'
output:
md_document:
variant: commonmark #or gfm

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(
echo = TRUE,
message = FALSE,
warning = FALSE
)
```
```{r echo=FALSE}
library(palmerpenguins)
```
```{r echo=TRUE, class.output="output"}
penguins
```

md output
``` r

Feels a bit hacky, but you can cat the backticks as output to code chunks, but drop the comment symbol (##). (I'm using four backticks for the code blocks below to get the syntax highlighting correct)
````{r echo=FALSE, comment=NA}
cat('```')
````
````{r echo=FALSE}
penguins
````
````{r echo=FALSE, comment=NA}
cat('```')
