Research direction

Start by reading the component's styling and documentation entry points, focusing on how className reaches the container and how textarea styles are applied. Determine whether the existing API documents or supports disabling those inline styles; done means the styling behavior is clearly controllable through classes and documented for CSS Modules users.

Description

Like most people I'm using css (sass) modules for my components. How do I use css modules with this component?

I see that I can pass className as a prop but then that only gets applied to the .w-tc-editor container div. The textarea still has very opinionated styles applied INLINE on it:

    margin: 0px;
    border: 0px;
    background: none;
    box-sizing: inherit;
    display: inherit;
    font-family: inherit;
    font-size: inherit;
    font-style: inherit;
    font-variant-ligatures: inherit;
    font-weight: inherit;
    letter-spacing: inherit;
    line-height: inherit;
    tab-size: inherit;
    text-indent: inherit;
    text-rendering: inherit;
    text-transform: inherit;
    white-space: pre-wrap;
    word-break: keep-all;
    overflow-wrap: break-word;
    outline: 0px;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0px;
    left: 0px;
    height: 100%;
    width: 100%;
    resize: none;
    color: inherit;
    opacity: 0.8;
    overflow: hidden;
    -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
    -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;
    padding: 10px;
    min-height: 16px;

How do I use this component without any sort of styling on it at all so that I can use classes to control the styling? If there is a way to do this it's not clear at all in the documentation.
