 * I am placing a html table into the page of my site using the Hemingway theme,
   and the table background defaults to a light grey colour. I’d like the table 
   to just to be transparent or white. I know that I need to change these settings
   is my CSS Style Sheet. Is anyone able to guide me as to which bit of code I need
   to update? Thanks!

 * Hi [@adamsurridge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adamsurridge/),
 * Go to Appearance → Customize → Additional CSS (the menu labels might be different
   in your language) and add the code below:
 * `.post-content table tbody > tr:nth-child(2n+1) > td { background-color: transparent;}`
 * Let me know if that does it.

 * That worked perfectly! There is one remaining issue; the table seems to have 
   a top and bottom border, but I’d like that to be invisible and images places 
   into pages seem to have the same border. What code would I need to remove these?
