Tailwind CSS in Markdown for Image Gallery

Tailwind CSS in Markdown for Image Gallery

The scenic lands of Canada featuring maple leaves, snow-capped mountains, turquoise lakes and Toronto. Take in the sights in this photo gallery exhibition and see how easy it is to replicate with some MDX magic and tailwind classes.

Features images served using next/image component. The locally stored images are located in a folder with the following path: /static/images/canada/[filename].jpg

Since we are using mdx, we can create a simple responsive flexbox grid to display our images with a few tailwind css classes.
