How to do "prose prose-sm md:prose"

[danspratling]

So I've run into this weird issue where I'm trying to have smaller prose content on mobile, and the default size on other screen sizes

Looking at the docs, prose is a required class regardless of screen size (it adds additional things that the size modfiers don't)

But because that class is required, it makes it impossible to refer to it as a size modifier when adding a media query. If I do prose-sm md:prose things start disappearing (like quotes) on mobile

If I wanted to use any other font size, i would use a prose size modifier

prose lg:prose-lg xl:prose-xl

so it seems like this missing base sizing is a mistake

Suggestion

A new size modifier is added with base size styling to allow media query adjustments

prose prose-sm md:prose-base
// Where prose-base resets the font (and any other scaling/changes) to the default size

workaround (edit, doesn't work)

for now, I can just manually overwrite the base font size by doing the following

prose prose-sm md:text-base

But if I've customized prose so that something not accounted for by rem, like colours, are different on sm and DEFAULT in my tailwind config, there's no way I can reset them to the default without manually adjusting all styles (but with all other prose types this blanket reset is possible)

Edit: After trying this workaround I realised that it only works on base paragraph styles. Headings (h2, h3, etc) still inherit the prose-sm styles which makes them smaller on larger screens than intended

Hey! You just want this:

prose prose-sm md:prose

In the next version we will have a prose-base modifier you can use as well.

Hey Adam

Doesn't prose cancel out the md:prose in that situation?

prose (adds prose classes on every screen size)
md:prose (adds prose classes above md screen size)

Or am I missing something with how these are set up hierarchically? When I attempted it using prose prose-sm md:prose it didn't work as expected (it retained prose-sm sizing above the md breakpoint)

nope, prose seems to be necessary
