tailwind and markdown

This post is a bit of an experiment to see what I can do. Lets start with a block of pink text. I build my blog with my own static site generator called markata

Setup Tailwind for Jinja

Still Loving Tailwind

{.text-pink-500}

This text should be pink

This text should be not pink

This text should be pink

This text should be not pink

Now will it work with bulleted lists

{.text-pink-500}
This block will be pink

{.text-pink-500}

* Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, officia excepteur ex fugiat reprehenderit enim
* labore culpa sint ad nisi Lorem pariatur mollit ex esse exercitation amet. Nisi
* anim cupidatat excepteur officia. Reprehenderit nostrud nostrud ipsum Lorem est

This block will not be pink.

* Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, officia excepteur ex fugiat reprehenderit enim
* labore culpa sint ad nisi Lorem pariatur mollit ex esse exercitation amet. Nisi
* anim cupidatat excepteur officia. Reprehenderit nostrud nostrud ipsum Lorem est

{.text-pink-500} This block will be pink

{.text-pink-500}

• Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, officia excepteur ex fugiat reprehenderit enim
• labore culpa sint ad nisi Lorem pariatur mollit ex esse exercitation amet. Nisi
• anim cupidatat excepteur officia. Reprehenderit nostrud nostrud ipsum Lorem est

This block will not be pink.

• Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, officia excepteur ex fugiat reprehenderit enim
• labore culpa sint ad nisi Lorem pariatur mollit ex esse exercitation amet. Nisi
• anim cupidatat excepteur officia. Reprehenderit nostrud nostrud ipsum Lorem est

Inline classes ¶ #

Now within a [paragraph]{.text-pink-500} can we add [inline classes]{.text-pink-500 .font-bold .underline}.

Now within a [paragraph]{.text-pink-500} can we add [inline classes]{.text-pink-500 .font-bold .underline}.

Pros ¶ #

• lorem
• ipsum
• dolor

[Cons] ¶ #

• lorem
• ipsum
• dolor

Classes on images ¶ #

Attrs does not like ‘/’ characters in its classes, so to use some tailwind classes we must make new classes in our tailwind input css.

.cinematic {
  @apply aspect-[2.39/1];
}

Given the following markdown

![screenshot-2025-01-31T14-50-00-094Z.png](https://dropper.waylonwalker.com/api/file/50cfa8dc-9d46-4f02-877b-688fa5510a83.png){.aspect-[2.39/1]}

![screenshot-2025-01-31T14-50-00-094Z.png](https://dropper.waylonwalker.com/api/file/50cfa8dc-9d46-4f02-877b-688fa5510a83.png){.cinematic}

{.cinematic}
![screenshot-2025-01-31T14-50-00-094Z.png](https://dropper.waylonwalker.com/api/file/50cfa8dc-9d46-4f02-877b-688fa5510a83.png)

We get the following output.

{.aspect-[2.39/1]}

{.cinematic}

{.cinematic}

Both the block and inline version of `.cinematic` works, but `.aspect-[2.39/1]` does not, it turns into text after the image.
