css in html is embedded
and this can also be done with an ftl.
I don't believe the OOTB styles will support a view handler parsing an
ftl. if not, it can be added.
I am still reading the code on this new feature to create my own. so
consider this a newbie answer.

hopefully those that created the code will respond.
