Description

There needs to be a way to not use the default style in print_formatted_text(). I found it quite puzzling when class names I used kept receiving odd styling unexpectedly. It looks like there is a way to opt out of the default Pygments style, but I would really like to be able to start from nothing.

Research direction

Start at the print_formatted_text() entry point and trace how the default Pygments style is selected. Define and implement an opt-out that allows formatting to begin with no default style, then verify that caller-provided class names no longer receive unexpected styling.
