Suggestion: Clear profile text formatting toggle

Something I've wished for for ages is text accessibility options on Toyhouse! Many, many times users will code their user or character profiles (or warning pages, or threads, etc.) in ways that are incompatible with certain website themes, making their text an unreadable color or hard to look with the theme you're using. Other times, people will make their font very small, or in all italics, or center-aligned, which can be difficult to read or focus on. I find if I come across profiles like these in forum games, I usually skip over them, or try to copy and paste the contents into a text editor if I really want to read them, but it's not a good solution.

My suggestion is for a toggle that would allow us to clear non-default text formatting such as custom colors, font sizes, fonts, italics/bold, and text alignment. (Toyhouse's existing "Disable Custom CSS" option does not do this.)

It would be great if profiles had options at the top of the page like literature submissions do: toggles that change the page theme, text size, and serif/sans-serif-- but I think it needs to go beyond those options.

I wish literature submissions would let us fully clear the formatting, because although we can make the text bigger and change the body background, we can't erase the text color, make it left-aligned, or non-italic, and if the creator chose a font, it can't be cleared with the serif/sans-serif button, so it can still be hard to read some submissions the way they're published. What I'm asking for is a way to fully clear all text formatting.

Additionally, the ability to increase/decrease line spacing would be an amazing accessibility feature for reading literature submissions and profiles.

@antimoany below suggested the ability to define default text settings, and I think that is a great suggestion as well.
