Simplify gt table

General
1

Thinking about Tufte's data-ink ratio is there an easy way to remove the following from the basic gt table below:

  • remove top line and bottom two lines
  • remove shading on bottom row
library(gt)

can_world_table <- tibble(
  region = c("Canada", "World"),
  target_year = c(20123456, 3479525000),
  current_year = c(38987654, 7713852000)
)

gt(can_world_table) %>% 
  tab_header(
    title = "Population",
    subtitle = "(in millions)"
  ) %>% 
  cols_label(
    region = "",
    target_year = "1967", 
    current_year = "2019"
  ) %>% 
  fmt_number(
    columns = vars(target_year, current_year),
    decimals = 0, 
    scale_by = 1e-6
  ) %>% 
  cols_align(
    align = "right",
    columns = vars(target_year, current_year)
  )

The tab_options() function seems to help.
Not all the way there.
This reference page should help
