References

The ingenious idea of using the @apply directive to establish rules for a Markdown class was conceived by @adamwathan (the creator of Tailwind CSS). He first shared this concept in a comment on an issue within the Tailwind CSS discussion repository.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Tailwind CSS implementation, here are some troubleshooting tips:

  • Ensure that you have correctly linked the markdown.css file in your HTML.
  • Check that the markdown class is being applied to the appropriate elements.
  • Confirm there are no conflicting styles from other CSS files that may override your markdown styles.
