How do I control font size across breakpoints using Tailwind utilities?

Answer

In Tailwind CSS, you can control font size across different breakpoints using responsive utility classes. Tailwind provides a mobile-first approach, allowing you to specify styles for smaller screens first and then override them for larger screens using breakpoint prefixes.

<!-- BEGIN COPY / PASTE -->
    <p class="text-base sm:text-lg md:text-xl lg:text-2xl xl:text-3xl">

    </p>
    <!-- END COPY / PASTE -->

Additional Comment:

Tailwind's default breakpoints are "sm", "md", "lg", "xl", and "2xl".
Each breakpoint prefix (e.g., "sm:") applies styles at the specified minimum width.
Start with the smallest size and use prefixes to adjust for larger screens.
Ensure your Tailwind configuration includes the desired breakpoints.
