Classes

<article class="text-base prose prose-truegray xl:text-xl">
  {{ markdown }}
  <p class="not-prose">Some text</p>
</article>

Attributes

<article text-base prose prose-truegray xl="text-xl">
  {{ markdown }}
  <p class="not-prose">Some text</p>
</article>

WARNING

Notice: not-prose can only be used as a class, not as an attribute.

Highlights

Any font size

Apply any font size for body you like and prose will scale the styles for the respective HTML elements. For instance, prose text-lg has body font size 1.125rem and h1 will scale with that size 2.25 times. See all the supported HTML elements.

Any color

Apply any color with prose-${colorName} by UnoCSS (e.g. prose-coolgray, prose-sky) since prose does not have any color by default. See all available colors. For instance, prose prose-truegray will use the respective colors for the respective HTML elements.

Dark mode with a single utility

Apply typographic dark mode with prose-invert (background color needs to be handled by users). For instance, prose dark:prose-invert will use the inverted colors in the dark mode.

Your very own style

Styles of elements not within prose will stay the same. No style resetting just like UnoCSS.

Undo with not utility

Apply not-prose to the elements to undo the typographic styles. For instance, <table class="not-prose"> will skip the styles by this preset for the table element (NOTE: not utility is only usable in class since it is only used in CSS selector & not scanned by UnoCSS).

Compatibility options

This preset uses some pseudo-classes which are not widely supported, but you can disable them. (#2064)

• If you enable noColonNot or noColonWhere, not-prose will be unavailable.
• If you enable noColonIs, attributify mode will have a wrong behavior.

Options

• be merged deeply with built-in styles.

TIP

not utility is only available in class.

• Default: undefined

Extend or override CSS selectors with CSS declaration block.

    presetAttributify(), // required if using attributify mode
    presetWind3(), // required
    presetTypography({
      selectorName: 'markdown', // now use like `markdown markdown-gray`, `not-markdown`
      // cssExtend is an object with CSS selector as key and
      // CSS declaration block as value like writing normal CSS.
      cssExtend: {
        'code': {
          color: '#8b5cf6',
        },
