Problem Description
The existing pandas Styler makes use of CSS extensively but is done so with a naïve parser. This has resulted in a number of hacky workaround to get values like the literal ; passed through, see #46239, #40596, #40422, and #41619.
Using a real parser here would remove the need for workaround.
There are also other cases that are currently impossible with the existing implementation. Eg. all CSS values passes into the Excel Styler get converted to lower case with no escape hatch.
Feature Description
Rip out all custom CSS parsing code and replace with a standard parser line tinycss/tinycss2. Both packages with relatively few additional dependencies.
Alternative Solutions
Write our own more complete CSS parser.
