Discussion Use cell padding to add space around the content in the cell. For example, you can set the amount of padding between the right side of the cell and the content, or the left side of the cell and the content. You can use this object in TableCellStyle and ConditionalTableCellStyle. Example {   "componentStyles": {     "exampleForTables": {       "tableStyle": {         "cells": {           "verticalAlignment": "top",           "padding": {             "left": 6,             "right": 6,             "bottom": 4,             "top": 2           }         }       }     }   } }
