Suggestion: padding between rows (or skip last bottom padding)

First, I want to say that this is a fantastic project, which I have only started to use.

When working with (custom) tables, I found that the existing cell padding options did not fit my need: adding vertical padding at either the top or the bottom gave an unbalanced “table”, whereas adding it at both top and bottom introduced too much vertical spacing between rows. I resorted to doing a formatting hack by not using vertical padding, inserting instead an empty row between each existing rows, so as to get the vertical spacing between rows just right (for me). Here’s a screen capture to illustrate what I mean:

This small hack works for me, but it might possibly be a nice feature to add, using bottom padding with an extra flag skip_last_bottom_padding – if it is not too difficult to implement.

Version 1.1.7 with collapse_padding-True and pad_edge=False definitely works without having to do my hack, making my code look much cleaner.

Thanks

Try v1.1.7

There was a bug with pad_edge, it was only affecting the left and right edges, not top and bottom. I’ve also added collapse_padding which combines padding from neighbouring cells.
