Allow tables defined in markdown on forms to be styled

[Skaiir]

This request is a copy over from our forums, https://forum.camunda.io/t/allow-tables-defined-in-markdown-on-forms-to-be-styled/48468, and directly quoted, I'll leave my thoughts below.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It would be nice to allow for tables defined via markdown in a Text View to be styled. The example below shows a basic table, but ideally if were a complex table with many columns and rows, then for example be able to add borders and alternate colored rows, maybe via style tags as shown below.

Essentially, what's requested here is the ability to style the text view rendered output.

Describe the solution you'd like

The user would like to be able to style the css of the text viewer via style tags, as shown in the provided screenshot.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Some of my thoughts:

First of all, styles are a mild security risk here, because we're within a variable injection context, it might make more sense to keep style definitions outside of the text view itself and statically defined.

Secondly, just how far do we want to support styling individual forms as an extension? And if we do, maybe it makes more sense to do so at a higher level of scope, instead of individually in each component.

Finally, within Camunda context, there's the matter of the carbonization layer, and how customization will interact with it. It wouldn't be easy to display the custom styles, as modeler isn't carbonized yet, so the final look in tasklist wouldn't be representative.
