Override Tailwind default
Tailwind Line Height Debugging
For the default usage of Tailwind, usually you will use the base Tailwind CSS Directives
@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;
@tailwind base
, adds some preflight "best practices" styles to your CSS output.
However, the issue with these preflight styles is that the default line-height
and font-family
styles result in you being unable to override the line-height
with values lower than 1.5 (Last tested on Chrome 12/7/2022)
To overcome this, you need to override some of these default preflight styles by replacing your default css file for loading tailwindcss with the following:
@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;
html {
line-height: unset;
font-family: unset;
}
