 * Hi there. I love this plugin!
 * Just one question. Is it possible to reduce the spacing above and below the cells
   when hiding borders? When the borders are hidden i’d like to tighten up the line
   height.
 * Thank you!

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Yes, this is possible, by reducing the padding. For that, please add this to 
   the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress:
 *     ```
       .tablepress td {
         padding: 2px 5px;
       }
       ```
   
 * The first number is the top and bottom padding, the second number is the left
   and right padding.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Thanks so much Tobias. I had to add the !important function but it worked like
   a charm 😉
