blink-so[bot] · bpmct · web-flow · commit c85b5f7fb831 · 2025-07-22T09:05:15.000-05:00
Add link to coder.com/docs styling options documentation in the
styling parameter description to help users understand available
styling attributes.

The link is added in the Go source code so it gets properly
generated into the documentation by tfplugindocs.
