tailwindlabs/tailwindcss-typography: Beautiful typographic defaults for HTML you don't control.

The official Tailwind CSS Typography plugin provides a set of prose classes 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.

<article class="prose lg:prose-xl">{{ markdown }}</article>

To see what it looks like in action, check out our live demo on Tailwind Play.

Install the plugin from npm:

npm install -D @tailwindcss/typography

Then add the plugin to your main style.css file:

  @import "tailwindcss";
+ @plugin "@tailwindcss/typography";

If you are still using Tailwind CSS v3, add the plugin to your tailwind.config.js file:

// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  theme: {
    // ...
  },
  plugins: [
    require('@tailwindcss/typography'),
    // ...
  ],
}

Now you can use the prose classes to add sensible typography styles to any vanilla HTML:

<article class="prose lg:prose-xl">
  <h1>Garlic bread with cheese: What the science tells us</h1>
  <p>
    For years parents have espoused the health benefits of eating garlic bread with cheese to their
    children, with the food earning such an iconic status in our culture that kids will often dress
    up as warm, cheesy loaf for Halloween.
  </p>
  <p>
    But a recent study shows that the celebrated appetizer may be linked to a series of rabies cases
    springing up around the country.

This plugin includes a modifier class for each of the five gray scales Tailwind includes by default so you can easily style your content to match the grays you're using in your project.

<article class="prose prose-slate">{{ markdown }}</article>

Here are the classes that are generated using a totally default Tailwind CSS v2.0 build:

Class Gray scale prose-gray (default) Gray prose-slate Slate prose-zinc Zinc prose-neutral Neutral prose-stone Stone

Modifier classes are designed to be used with the multi-class modifier pattern and must be used in conjunction with the base prose class.

Note

Always include the prose class when adding a gray scale modifier

<article class="prose prose-stone">{{ markdown }}</article>

To learn about creating your own color themes, read the adding custom color themes documentation.

Size modifiers allow you to adjust the overall size of your typography for different contexts.

<article class="prose prose-xl">{{ markdown }}</article>

Five different typography sizes are included out of the box:

Class Body font size prose-sm 0.875rem (14px) prose-base (default) 1rem (16px) prose-lg 1.125rem (18px) prose-xl 1.25rem (20px) prose-2xl 1.5rem (24px)

These can be used in combination with Tailwind's breakpoint modifiers to change the overall font size of a piece of content at different viewport sizes:

<article class="prose md:prose-lg lg:prose-xl">{{ markdown }}</article>

Everything about the provided size modifiers has been hand-tuned by professional designers to look as beautiful as possible, including the relationships between font sizes, heading spacing, code block padding, and more.

Size modifiers are designed to be used with the multi-class modifier pattern and must be used in conjunction with the base prose class.

Note

Always include the prose class when adding a size modifier

<article class="prose prose-lg">{{ markdown }}</article>

To learn about customizing the included type scales, read the documentation on customizing the CSS.

Each default color theme includes a hand-designed dark mode version that you can trigger by adding the prose-invert class:

<article class="prose dark:prose-invert">{{ markdown }}</article>

To learn about creating your own color themes, read the adding custom color themes documentation.

Use element modifiers to customize the style of individual elements in your content directly in your HTML:

<article class="prose prose-img:rounded-xl prose-headings:underline prose-a:text-blue-600">
  {{ markdown }}
</article>

This makes it easy to do things like style links to match your brand, add a border radius to images, and tons more.

Here's a complete list of available element modifiers:

Modifier Target prose-headings:{utility} h1, h2, h3, h4, th prose-lead:{utility} [class~="lead"] prose-h1:{utility} h1 prose-h2:{utility} h2 prose-h3:{utility} h3 prose-h4:{utility} h4 prose-p:{utility} p prose-a:{utility} a prose-blockquote:{utility} blockquote prose-figure:{utility} figure prose-figcaption:{utility} figcaption prose-strong:{utility} strong prose-em:{utility} em prose-kbd:{utility} kbd prose-code:{utility} code prose-pre:{utility} pre prose-ol:{utility} ol prose-ul:{utility} ul prose-li:{utility} li prose-table:{utility} table prose-thead:{utility} thead prose-tr:{utility} tr prose-th:{utility} th prose-td:{utility} td prose-img:{utility} img prose-video:{utility} video prose-hr:{utility} hr

When stacking these modifiers with other modifiers like hover, you most likely want the other modifier to come last:

<article class="prose prose-a:text-blue-600 prose-a:hover:text-blue-500">{{ markdown }}</article>

If you are still using in Tailwind CSS v3, the modifier order is the opposite:

<article class="prose prose-a:text-blue-600 hover:prose-a:text-blue-500">{{ markdown }}</article>

Read the Tailwind CSS documentation on stacked modifiers to learn more.

Each size modifier comes with a baked in max-width designed to keep the content as readable as possible. This isn't always what you want though, and sometimes you'll want the content to just fill the width of its container.

In those cases, all you need to do is add max-w-none to your content to override the embedded max-width:

<div class="grid grid-cols-4">
  <div class="col-span-1">
    <!-- ... -->
  </div>
  <div class="col-span-3">
    <article class="prose max-w-none">{{ markdown }}</article>
  </div>
</div>
Undoing typography styles

If you have a block of markup embedded in some content that shouldn't inherit the prose styles, use the not-prose class to sandbox it:

<article class="prose">
  <h1>My Heading</h1>
  <p>...</p>

  <div class="not-prose">
    <!-- Some example or demo that needs to be prose-free -->
  </div>

  <p>...</p>
  <!-- ... -->
</article>

Note that you can't nest new prose instances within a not-prose block at this time.

Adding custom color themes

To customize the color theme beyond simple CSS overrides, you can use the JavaScript based theme API. To do that, use the @config directive:

  @import "tailwindcss";
  @plugin "@tailwindcss/typography";
+ @config "./tailwind.config.js";

You can then create your own color theme by adding a new tailwind.config.js file with the typography section and providing your colors under the css key:

/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
module.exports = {
  theme: {
    extend: {
      typography: () => ({
        pink: {
          css: {
            '--tw-prose-body': 'var(--color-pink-800)',
            '--tw-prose-headings': 'var(--color-pink-900)',
            '--tw-prose-lead': 'var(--color-pink-700)',
            '--tw-prose-links': 'var(--color-pink-900)',
            '--tw-prose-bold': 'var(--color-pink-900)',
            '--tw-prose-counters': 'var(--color-pink-600)',
            '--tw-prose-bullets': 'var(--color-pink-400)',
            '--tw-prose-hr': 'var(--color-pink-300)',
            '--tw-prose-quotes': 'var(--color-pink-900)',
            '--tw-prose-quote-borders': 'var(--color-pink-300)',
            '--tw-prose-captions': 'var(--color-pink-700)',
            '--tw-prose-code': 'var(--color-pink-900)',
            '--tw-prose-pre-code': 'var(--color-pink-100)',
            '--tw-prose-pre-bg': 'var(--color-pink-900)',
            '--tw-prose-th-borders': 'var(--color-pink-300)',
            '--tw-prose-td-borders': 'var(--color-pink-200)',
            '--tw-prose-invert-body': 'var(--color-pink-200)',
            '--tw-prose-invert-headings': 'var(--color-white)',
            '--tw-prose-invert-lead': 'var(--color-pink-300)',
            '--tw-prose-invert-links': 'var(--color-white)',
            '--tw-prose-invert-bold': 'var(--color-white)',
            '--tw-prose-invert-counters': 'var(--color-pink-400)',
            '--tw-prose-invert-bullets': 'var(--color-pink-600)',
            '--tw-prose-invert-hr': 'var(--color-pink-700)',
            '--tw-prose-invert-quotes': 'var(--color-pink-100)',
            '--tw-prose-invert-quote-borders': 'var(--color-pink-700)',
            '--tw-prose-invert-captions': 'var(--color-pink-400)',
            '--tw-prose-invert-code': 'var(--color-white)',
            '--tw-prose-invert-pre-code': 'var(--color-pink-300)',
            '--tw-prose-invert-pre-bg': 'rgb(0 0 0 / 50%)',
            '--tw-prose-invert-th-borders': 'var(--color-pink-600)',
            '--tw-prose-invert-td-borders': 'var(--color-pink-700)',
          },
        },
      }),
    },
  },
}

See our internal style definitions for some more examples.

Changing the default class name

If you need to use a class name other than prose for any reason, you can do so using the className option when registering the plugin:

@import "tailwindcss";
@plugin "@tailwindcss/typography" {
  className: wysiwyg;
}

Now every instance of prose in the default class names will be replaced by your custom class name:

<article class="wysiwyg wysiwyg-slate lg:wysiwyg-xl">
  <h1>My Heading</h1>
  <p>...</p>

  <div class="not-wysiwyg">
    <!-- Some example or demo that needs to be prose-free -->
  </div>

  <p>...</p>
  <!-- ... -->
</article>

If you want to customize the raw CSS generated by this plugin, first follow the steps from adding custom color themes to set up a JavaScript based configuration API and then add your overrides under the typography key in the theme section of your tailwind.config.js file:

/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
module.exports = {
  theme: {
    extend: {
      typography: {
        DEFAULT: {
          css: {
            color: '#333',
            a: {
              color: '#3182ce',
              '&:hover': {
                color: '#2c5282',
              },
            },
          },
        },
      },
    },
  },
}

Like with all theme customizations in Tailwind, you can use CSS variables if you need access to access your theme configuration:

/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
module.exports = {
  theme: {
    extend: {
      typography: {
        DEFAULT: {
          css: {
            color: 'var(--color-gray-800)',
            // ...
          },
        },
      },
    },
  },
}

Customizations should be applied to a specific modifier like DEFAULT or xl, and must be added under the css property. Customizations are authored in the same CSS-in-JS syntax used to write Tailwind v3 plugins.

See the default styles for this plugin for more in-depth examples of configuring each modifier.
