Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Hi!
First of all, thanks for this theme!
My use case is this: I would like to be able to include tailwind classes as part of the content in Drupal to build pages in this way.
However tailwind only exports classes that I have previously included in twig templates, so if I have not used, for example: text-gray-500, it will not be available. Is there a way to prevent this behavior? In version 4 you can declare "purge" as false, but in version 5 it seems that it does not work the same way. Could you please tell me how to do it?
Thanks a lot!

opdaviesHi, @ktegory!
The 5.x branch is using Tailwind's JIT compiler, which you can find out more about at https://v2.tailwindcss.com/docs/just-in-time-mode, and for the
contentconfiguration at https://tailwindcss.com/docs/content-configuration.Something that I've done previously is keeping a separate file such as https://github.com/OliverDaviesLtd/oliverdavies-uk/blob/8203e983d5cc177b... that I can include within the purge/JIT settings to avoid classes from being removed, or you could do the same using a
safelistwithin your Tailwind configuration.I did previously have some Tailwind classes inside body fields so I wrote an export command that dumps that data into a file like the one above. The command class is at https://github.com/OliverDaviesLtd/oliverdavies-uk/blob/f219d81d38cdcd60... if you wanted to take a look.
I hope that helps!
