Is that still applicable if there is CSS controlling the output of <p>?
yes.
You asked that you get just the text of the table so that will convert
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>this</td><td><b>and</b> <em>this</em></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>this</td><td><b>and</b> <em>this</em></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
to
<p>
thisand this
thisand this
</p>
so clearly there is no way to css style the words within the paragraph.
If that isn't the transformation that you want then you need to describe
what you do want.
