Why not improve SQL output?

[zmievsa]

Unlike sentry, pydantic logfire, and signoz , tempo doesn't do syntax highlighting or formatting for SQL queries in spans. Instead, it just outputs them as strings. This sounds like a relatively cheap and simple change, and something we could even do entirely on the frontend.

Is there a reason why we do not?

In sentry, for example, they achieve it with this:

Hi! This is good feedback, thanks. It sounds more like a Grafana matter, so I'm transfering the discussion there.

The grafana repo doesn't support discussions. @zmievsa I'm going to close this discussion, but if this issue is important to you please create it in the https://github.com/grafana/grafana/ repo.

[zmievsa]

Already did. Thanks!
