  watch = FALSE,
  minify = FALSE,
  content = ".",
  tailwindcss = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

infile	the 'TailwindCSS' file (eg containing the ⁠@tailwind⁠ directives). Relative to basedir
outfile	the target css file, where tailwind will write the css to. Relative to basedir
version	Which version of tailwind to use. Default is now v4.
