Show formatted text in list table

I want to display text in a cell in a SAS Viya, where the text is both readable in full AND keeps its formatting.

So far, I seem to only be able to chose between one of two options:

Disable "wrap text" (which shows the cell content on a single line, no formatting, cut off at end of cell), and use mouse-over/hover to show the pop-up with formatted text:

Problem with this is, that it requires another user interaction, the pop-ups are not reliable, and for longer texts the popups become difficult to read/use.
Enable "wrap text", which shows full cell content and adjusts cell height as needed, but removes any formatting:

I want the cell-height of option 2 with the formatting of option 1. Seems like a simple request, but I cannot figure out how to achieve this (if it is even possible). I have used multiple newline codes (a true enter using concatenation in Viya/VA, '0A'x in EG where data is prepared, byte(10), byte(13), etc.) to force a newline in wrap text, but all to no avail.

Could anyone shed light on whether this is possible (and if so how) or not? Thanks!

If it helps, the SAS versions available to me:

SAS EG: 8.3 Update 2 (8.3.2.140) (32-bit)
SAS VA: Long-Term Support 2024.09, Release: 20250324.1742820425642
