How to Use Line Height in Tailwind CSS

saim - Jul 8 - - Dev Community

To set line height in Tailwind CSS, you can use the leading utility classes. The leading classes control the line height of an element.

<!-- Default line height -->
<p class="leading-normal">This is a paragraph with default line height.</p>

<!-- Loose line height -->
<p class="leading-loose">This is a paragraph with loose line height.</p>

<!-- Tight line height -->
<p class="leading-tight">This is a paragraph with tight line height.</p>

You can also use numeric values to set the line height explicitly. The values are based on the font size, so leading-3 would set the line height to 3 times the font size.

<!-- Line height: 1.25 times the font size -->
<p class="leading-5">This is a paragraph with line height of 1.25 times the font size.</p>

<!-- Line height: 1.75 times the font size -->
<p class="leading-7">This is a paragraph with line height of 1.75 times the font size.</p>

Here's a list of the available leading utility classes in Tailwind CSS:

  • leading-none
  • leading-tight
  • leading-snug
  • leading-normal
  • leading-relaxed
  • leading-loose

leading-{size} (e.g., leading-3, leading-4, leading-5, etc.)

You Can Set Custom Line Heights with REM Units.

<div class="flex flex-col items-center justify-center h-screen space-y-4">
        <p class="max-w-xl leading-[3rem]">So I started to walk into the water. I won't lie to you boys, I was
            terrified. But I pressed on, and as I made my way past the breakers a strange calm came over me. I don't
            know if it was divine intervention or the kinship of all living things but I tell you Jerry at that moment,
            I was a marine biologist.</p>
