@tailwindcss/typography
Advanced tools
A Tailwind CSS plugin for automatically styling plain HTML content with beautiful typographic defaults.
The @tailwindcss/typography plugin provides a set of prose classes that you can use to add beautiful typographic defaults to any vanilla HTML you don't control, like HTML rendered from Markdown, or pulled from a CMS. It's designed to make the text in your applications look good out of the box.
Prose styling
Automatically styles the text within the <article> tag according to the Tailwind Typography defaults. The 'prose' class applies base styles, and 'lg:prose-xl' applies larger styles at the 'lg' breakpoint and above.
<article class='prose lg:prose-xl'>...</article>Customizing Typography
Allows customization of the default typography styles. In this example, the base text color is set to '#333', and anchor (<a>) tags are styled with a default color of '#3178c6', which changes to '#0550ae' on hover.
theme: { extend: { typography: { DEFAULT: { css: { color: '#333', a: { color: '#3178c6', '&:hover': { color: '#0550ae', }, }, }, }, }, }, },Dark mode support
Enables dark mode styles within the <article> tag when the parent or root element has the 'dark' class. The 'prose-dark' class applies dark mode styles to the text.
