Description
Sometimes I have columns that not only have a lot of text in them, but also newline characters that need preserved. Currently the white-space can only be set to "" or pre-wrap. It would be helpful to have the ability at the table and column level to set the following:
whitespace=...
text-overflow=...
where the acceptable values are valid values for those style attributes. Specifically, I am hoping to use "pre" for whitespace and "ellipsis" for the text-overflow.

Research direction
No files or tests are named in the issue. Start by locating the existing table- and column-level handling for white-space, then trace how style property values are applied. Done means both white-space and text-overflow accept valid CSS values independently at table and column level, including pre and ellipsis, while preserving newline characters.
