theme_gt_compact: Apply compact JAMA-style theme to gt tables

Description

Applies a compact table theme to gt tables that matches the 'jama' theme from gtsummary. This ensures visual consistency when mixing gtsummary tables (using theme_gtsummary_compact("jama")) with regular gt tables in the same document. The theme reduces padding, adjusts font sizes, and applies JAMA journal styling conventions.

Usage

theme_gt_compact(tbl)

Value

A gt table object with compact JAMA-style formatting applied

Arguments

tbl

A gt table object created with gt::gt()

Details

This function replicates the visual appearance of gtsummary::theme_gtsummary_compact("jama") for use with regular gt tables. Key styling includes:

• Reduced font size (13px) for compact appearance

• Minimal padding (1px) on all row types

• Bold column headers and table titles

• Hidden top and bottom table borders

• Consistent spacing that matches JAMA journal standards

See Also

• gtsummary::theme_gtsummary_compact() for gtsummary table themes

• gtsummary::set_gtsummary_theme() for setting global gtsummary themes

• gt::tab_options() for additional gt table styling options
