I followed the tutorial for using the Tailwind External Build Compiler / Process. It works well, I’m able to use some more advanced features from Tailwind. However, I’m struggling to get the Prose plugin to work.

I installed the plugin with NPM and added the command to tailwind.config.js.

However, I don’t see the prose classes compiling. I see that the prose classes are added to used-classes.html. But they don’t make it into my stylesheet, tailwind.css.

Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks!!

This usually happens due to some wiring issues. Are you able to share the plugins array of your tailwind.config.js, so we could see how its configured?

Got it working… just needed to restart the compiler! 🙂
