->description() - is it possible to further style?

Table columns and using the ->description() method (correct term?) for example like this

            Tables\Columns\TextColumn::make('name')
                    ->label('Filename')
                    ->description('my description')
                    ->sortable(),

            Tables\Columns\TextColumn::make('name')
                    ->label('Filename')
                    ->description('my description')
                    ->sortable(),

Is it possible to apply styling to the description (such as badge and setting a colour)? I don't think that description() supports this natively and am sure that there is a method to further style using some kind of custom code but wouldn't know where to start on this. Any pointers? thx j

You probably can use ->description(new HtmlString('your_html')) and return some HTML

Thanks I'll take a look at that approach.

Dennis Koch already mentioned new HtmlString. As an alternative you can also use your own view where you can use blade components, etc.

->description(fn($record) => view("path.to.your.view", ["record" => $record]))

->description(fn($record) => view("path.to.your.view", ["record" => $record]))

That might be even cleaner.
