# Use the booktabs option to improve presentation of the table.
ds %>% kable(row.names=FALSE, digits=0, booktabs=TRUE)| Location | MinTemp | MaxTemp | Rainfall | Evaporation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sydney | 13 | 30 | 0 | 6 |
| Richmond | 10 | 28 | 0 | NA |
| MountGinini | -4 | -1 | 5 | NA |
| Williamtown | 7 | 18 | NA | NA |
| Penrith | 12 | 18 | 0 | NA |

booktabs=TRUE will add a small gap every 5 rows.
