Apply_tailwind

This course examines and explains industry best practices to design web pages using Tailwind CSS. We’ll start with the typography of individual elements, and then we’ll get to “the box”—the rectangle of space each element takes up on a web page and how to manipulate it. Once we have our elements in boxes, we’ll take a look at the page layout using flexbox and grids.

Modern CSS with Tailwind

## Columns of a table

Using a table was the traditional way of spacing HTML pages. Unless we are displaying tabular data, a CSS grid is now preferable for layout purposes, so Tailwind does not provide many specific table utilities.

Tailwind lets us use `.table-auto` to keep the default browser behavior of auto spacing the columns of a table based on its content. If we want to specify column widths explicitly, we can use `.table-fixed` on the `<table>` element. We'll put an explicit width helper on each column of the table—the fractional helpers are useful for this.

Tailwind also lets us merge the borders of adjacent table cells with the help of the `.border-collapse` utility, which is reset with `.border-separate`.

We'll try the following border classes in the playground below:
* `table-fixed`
* `border`
* `border-collapse`

Below is the result we’ll get
