No extra line for table.continues #292

Closed gurol closed 7 years ago

gurol commented 7 years ago

Is it possible to put no extra line at all for table continues (default: "Table continues below")? If I set an empty string (i.e. panderOptions('table.continues', '')) there is still an empty line among table parts.

So there are two empty lines between the tables. Do you want to reduce that to one empty line? In markdown, the number of empty doesn't really matter as far as I know.

The screenshot below was taken from a Knitr generated HTML file and shows my request. I actually want to display a single record (row) with lots of columns in stacked lines with no vertical space.

Thank you.

@gurol I'm closing this, as I think that's rather a CSS and not a markdown-related question -- you have three separate HTML tables, where you could decrease the horizontal padding/margin between those via CSS. You cannot control that by markdown. Does it make sense?
