To control the text alignment of an element at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}:
prefix to any existing text alignment utility. For example, use md:text-center
to apply the text-center
utility at only medium screen sizes and above.
<p class="text-left md:text-center ...">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet ...</p>

By default, only responsive variants are generated for text alignment utilities.
You can control which variants are generated for the text alignment utilities by modifying the textAlign
property in the variants
section of your tailwind.config.js
file.
For example, this config will also generate hover and focus variants:
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
variants: {
extend: {
// ...
+ textAlign: ['hover', 'focus'],
}
}
}
If you don't plan to use the text alignment utilities in your project, you can disable them entirely by setting the textAlign
property to false
in the corePlugins
section of your config file:
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
corePlugins: {
// ...
+ textAlign: false,
}
}
