             Apply to each column (``axis=0`` or ``'index'``), to each row
             (``axis=1`` or ``'columns'``). Only used if `table_styles` is

         overwrite : boolean, default True
             Styles are replaced if `True`, or extended if `False`. CSS
             rules are preserved so most recent styles set will dominate
             if selectors intersect.
