Troubleshooting

Settings

tailwindCSS.includeLanguages

This setting allows you to add additional language support. The key of each entry is the new language ID and the value is any one of the extensions built-in languages, depending on how you want the new language to be treated (e.g. html, css, or javascript):

{
  "tailwindCSS.includeLanguages": {
    "plaintext": "html"
  }
}

tailwindCSS.emmetCompletions

Enable completions when using Emmet-style syntax, for example div.bg-red-500.uppercase. Default: false

{

}

tailwindCSS.validate

Enable linting. Rules can be configured individually using the tailwindcss.lint settings:
