Working with Text
Control how big or small text is.
Skill ID: WorkingWithText_24
Description: Set different sizes for headings, paragraphs, and captions.
Where to apply: All text on the page.
Key Tailwind Classes:
text-xs
,
text-sm
,
text-base
,
text-lg
,
text-xl
Gotcha:
Inconsistent use of text sizes can make the UI look disorganized. Sticking to Tailwind's predefined scale helps maintain visual harmony. Also,
text-base
refers to the browser's default font size (usually 16px), not necessarily a "medium" in the context of all Tailwind sizes.
Example:
This is extra small text using
text-xs
.
This is small text using
text-sm
.
This is base text using
text-base
(typically 16px).
This is large text using
text-lg
.
This is extra large text using
text-xl
.
This is 2XL text using
text-2xl
(example, not in key classes above).
This is 5XL text using
text-5xl
.
