The opt_vertical_padding() function

Use the exibble dataset to create a gt table with a number of table parts added (using functions like summary_rows(), grand_summary_rows(), and more). Following that, we’ll lessen the amount of vertical padding across the entire table with opt_vertical_padding(). Using a scale value of 0.25 (down from the default of 1) means the vertical space will be greatly reduced, resulting in a more compact table.
