Tailwind CSS has an official typography plugin that you should use instead of this one. It may not support all the features that this one has (its main use case is styling “vanilla HTML”), but it works with the latest versions of Tailwind, which also support a lot more typography utilities (indent, font-variant-numeric, text decoration color, style, and thickness, etc.).
This plugin requires Tailwind CSS 1.2 or later. If your project uses an older version of Tailwind, you should install the latest 2.x version of this plugin (npm install tailwindcss-typography@2.x).
npm install tailwindcss-typography// tailwind.config.js
