Installation
Tailwind CSS works by scanning all of your HTML files, JavaScript components, and any other templates for class names, generating the corresponding styles and then writing them to a static CSS file.
It's fast, flexible, and reliable — with zero-runtime.
Use the Play CDN to try Tailwind right in the browser without any build step. The Play CDN is designed for development purposes only, and is not intended for production.
Add the Play CDN script tag to the <head> of your HTML file, and start using Tailwind’s utility classes to style your content.
