Using Tailwind CSS in MDX Blog Posts

With MDX, you can now use Tailwind CSS classes directly in your blog content. This gives you much more flexibility in styling your content without having to add custom CSS.

Basic Text Styling with Tailwind

You can apply Tailwind classes to any HTML element:

This paragraph is styled with Tailwind classes!

This is a custom box with padding and rounded corners.

Creating Custom Components in MDX

One of the powerful features of MDX is the ability to create reusable components right in your content:

Feature One

This is the first feature box with Tailwind styling.

Feature Two

This is the second feature box with different colors.

Callout Boxes

Create attention-grabbing callout boxes:

Note

This is an important note that stands out from the rest of the content.

Warning

Interactive Elements

You can even style interactive elements:

Code Blocks Still Work

// Your code blocks still work as expected
function greet(name) {
  return `Hello, ${name}!`;
}

Combining Markdown and Tailwind

You can still use regular markdown syntax for basic formatting:

Bold text and italic text work as expected
Links work normally
Lists and other markdown features work too

But now you can enhance your content with Tailwind when needed!
