How to style Tailwind CSS Typography headings

You can separately style headings (<h1>, <h2>, etc) of text that’s styled with the Tailwind CSS Typography plugin.

With Tailwind CSS v3.0, Tailwind lets you override the headings’ styles using the prose-headings: prefix.

For example, if you wanted to change the font or color of your headings, you could use this combination of classes:

<div class="prose prose-headings:font-serif prose-headings:text-blue-800"></div>

You can add any Tailwind class after prose-headings:, and the Tailwind will generate the CSS necessary to apply that to any <h1>, <h2>, <h3>, <h4>, or <th> (ā€œtable headerā€) elements.

You can also target specific headings instead of all of them by using the prose-h1:, prose-h2:, etc, prefixes instead of prose-headings:.
