Tailwind CSS Divide Style

Tailwind CSS provides various classes to style the dividing lines which can be applied to HTML elements to give them a visually appealing effect. The divide classes are used to set the style of dividing lines between sibling elements in a container.

Syntax

The syntax for using divide classes in Tailwind CSS is as follows:

<div class="divide-{style}"></div>

Here, style can be any valid value from the list of pre-defined styles available in Tailwind CSS.

• solid for solid lines
• dashed for dashed lines
• dotted for dotted lines
• double for double lines
• none to remove the line completely

Apart from these values, you can also use numeric values to specify the width of the dividing line in pixels.

Example

Let's take an example to illustrate the usage of divide classes:

<div class="divide-dashed divide-gray-400">
  <p>First paragraph</p>
  <p>Second paragraph</p>
  <p>Third paragraph</p>
</div>

In the example above, we have set the vertical dividing line between the three paragraphs using divide-dashed for dashed line and divide-gray-400 for gray color.

Output

The above code will generate the following output:

Explanation

The divide-dashed class sets the style of the dividing line to dashed, whereas the divide-gray-400 class sets the color of the line to gray with the intensity of 400.
