Hello @damionx7 ,

well, tables are implemented as a workaround, and they are pretty limited. Text is being drawn manually on canvas by the table span. So, textView.text would not return it, actually you would see a (space) character instead of table text contents.

Of cause you could additionally inspect the table spans and apply your styling there... but I'm not sure this is a good way to implement this
