How to remove borders in tables?

But I don’t understand how to implement them in Discourse. Thanks in advance!

If it’s just for one specific post, you can use the data-post-id to edit the css only for this one.

If I inspect your post, I can find the data-post-id, data-topic-id and data-user-id

And it would be something like that at the end

[data-post-id="848923"] .cooked table {
    
}

Can CSS like this be edited through the interface, or does one have to go “into the files”, as it were?
