next-themes VS tailwindcss-typography

Next themes is used for themes switching

Shadcn UI supports dark mode for Next.js and Vite applications. For Next.js applications, Shadcn UI uses next-themes for the dark mode toggling functionality. When a user toggles between light and dark mode, the application switches between the light and dark theme tokens.

Let’s start with Next.js. We’ll use the next-themes package, which allows us to handle dark mode very easily without worrying about blocking page rendering to check user preferences.

3. Setup react-markdown and @tailwindcss/typography

The typography plugin which comes out of tailwind gives a clean readable experience in my opinion. https://tailwindcss.com/docs/typography-plugin

This is the text before the plugin: This is the text after applying the plugin: You can play with the demo here, and check out more ways to use it in the Typography documentation.

2. Use typography plugin

We've been using https://tailwindcss.com/docs/typography-plugin with Tiptap and it's worked great so far.

While we could have used the Tailwind CSS Typography plugin, we chose this solution to have more control over the tag styles and avoid overriding the plugin’s default styles. Since this demo utilizes only a few elements, this choice is appropriate.

Are you talking about Typography? If yes, that's what I'm using to pretty-print the HTML, which was generated using the above technique.

i also mostly cannot change layout since i use @tailwind/typography which requires a specific layout.
