Tailwind CSS 3Improved in 5.0+

The following example assumes you're including necessary Tailwind CSS 3 components. Due to the nature of Tailwind, this likely won't be useable as-is for most customers, but will serve as a good starting point for creating your own. You can place the CSS and JS inside the formatting template or add to your site's CSS / JS files.
