Examples

Normal

Use the whitespace-normal utility to collapse sequences of whitespace:

<p class="whitespace-normal ...">Hey everyone!\n\nIt's almost 2022 ...</p>

No Wrap

Use the whitespace-nowrap utility to prevent text from wrapping:

<p class="overflow-auto whitespace-nowrap ...">Hey everyone! ...</p>

Pre

Use the whitespace-pre utility to preserve sequences of whitespace:

<p class="overflow-auto whitespace-pre ...">Hey everyone!\n\nIt's almost 2022 ...</p>

Pre Line

Use the whitespace-pre-line utility to preserve sequences of whitespace but allow text to wrap:

<p class="whitespace-pre-line ...">Hey everyone!\n\nIt's almost 2022 ...</p>

Pre Wrap

Use the whitespace-pre-wrap utility to preserve sequences of whitespace and allow text to wrap:

<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap ...">Hey everyone!\n\nIt's almost 2022 ...</p>

Break Spaces

Use the whitespace-break-spaces utility to preserve sequences of whitespace and allow text to wrap, but break on any character:

<p class="whitespace-break-spaces ...">Hey everyone!\n\nIt's almost 2022 ...</p>

Responsive design

Prefix a white-space utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

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