This class accepts more than one value in tailwind CSS. All the properties are covered in class form. It is the alternative to the CSS white-space property. This class is used to control the text wrapping and white-spacing. There are several types of values in this property to use.

Whitespace classes:

  • whitespace-normal 
  • whitespace-nowrap 
  • whitespace-pre 
  • whitespace-pre-line 
  • whitespace-pre-wrap 

whitespace-normal: This is the default value of this class. When the whitespace class of tailwind is set to normal, every sequence of two or more whitespaces will appear as a single whitespace. The content in the element will wrap wherever necessary.

Syntax:

<element class="whitespace-normal">...</element>

Example:

HTML




<!DOCTYPE html> 
<head
    <link href=
"https://unpkg.com/tailwindcss@^1.0/dist/tailwind.min.css" 
          rel="stylesheet"
</head
  
<body class="text-center mx-4 space-y-2"
    <h1 class="text-green-600 text-5xl font-bold">
        GeeksforGeeks
    </h1
    <b>Tailwind CSS Whitespace Class</b
    <div class="mx-24 bg-green-200 rounded-lg">
        <p class="p-4 whitespace-normal text-justify">

            those who wants to pursue an engineering degree or
            wants to create a career on engineering field.
        </p>
  
  
    </div>
</body
  
</html

whitespace-nowrap: When the whitespace class of tailwind is set to nowrap, every sequence of two or more whitespaces will appear as a single whitespace. The content in the element will not be wrapped to a new line unless explicitly specified.

Syntax:

<element class="whitespace-nowrap">...</element>

Example:
