Use

The Text Stroke plugin provides the following utility classes for styling text with stroke effects:

  • .text-stroke: Base component that sets the default text stroke styles. You can override these styles using CSS variables.
  • .text-stroke-{value}: Sets the stroke width to the specified {value}. The available options are defined in the textStrokeWidth theme configuration.
  • .text-stroke-{color}: Applies a custom color to the text stroke. The {color} should match a color in your TailwindCSS color palette.
  • .text-stroke-fill-{color}: Applies a custom fill color to the text stroke. The {color} should match a color in your TailwindCSS color palette.

Example

Here's an example of how you can use the utility classes to apply image masks:

<h1 class="text-7xl font-black text-stroke">
  Hello, TailwindCSS
</h1>

With modifiers

<h1 class="text-7xl font-black text-stroke text-stroke-indigo-200 text-stroke-fill-indigo-600">
  Hello, TailwindCSS
</h1>
