For html_document or pdf_document, there have been solutions to suppress automatic table name and number, [for example,] (How to suppress automatic table name and number in an .Rmd file using xtable or knitr::kable?).
However, adding the following in the YAML section
header-includes:
- \usepackage{caption}
and the following before the code chunk
\captionsetup[table]{labelformat=empty}
does not work for html_document2.
Knitted from the following .rmd file, the automatic table name and number "Table 1.1: " cannot be disabled in the output html file. Thanks in advance for help!

```{r myirischunk, results = 'asis', tab.cap = NULL, echo = TRUE}
print(knitr::kable(head(iris), caption = "Table 1.a - First own table name"))
print(knitr::kable(tail(iris), caption = "Table 1.b - Last own table name"))
