Tailwind CSS Line-height

Tailwind Line Height

The line-height utility class in Tailwind CSS allows you to control the height of lines within text elements. With Tailwind's line-height class, you can adjust the spacing between lines to achieve the desired line height and improve the readability of your text.

Applying Tailwind Line Height

To apply line height to an element, you can use the leading-{value} utility class, where {value} represents the line height value.

leading-none: Sets the line height to none, causing the lines to overlap.
leading-tight: Sets a tight line height, reducing the spacing between lines.
leading-snug: Sets a snug line height, slightly reducing the spacing between lines.
leading-normal: Sets the default line height.
leading-relaxed: Sets a relaxed line height, increasing the spacing between lines.
leading-loose: Sets a loose line height, further increasing the spacing between lines.

Responsive Line Height

Tailwind CSS allows you to apply line height classes responsively at different breakpoints. To use responsive line height classes, you can append the breakpoint prefix to the utility class. For example, md:leading-snug sets a snug line height starting from the medium breakpoint and above.

html

<p class="leading-normal md:leading-snug">
  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.
</p>

In the above example, the line height is set to normal by default (leading-normal), but starting from the medium breakpoint and above, the line height is changed to snug (md:leading-snug).
