especially in relation to this scenario: https://github.com/timdream/wordcloud2.js/issues/179#issuecomment-2008868006_

is it possible to treat each word/tag as a solid rectangle so layout doesn't have any overlap or words within letters etc? when drawing, would also good to have the ability to use classes to format things like the rectangle border, background colors etc
