Re-explain
Tailwind utilities follow a predictable naming pattern based on CSS properties:
Common examples:
- Padding:
p-4 (padding: 1rem), px-2 (horizontal padding: 0.5rem)
- Margin:
m-8 (margin: 2rem), mt-4 (margin-top: 1rem)
- Colors:
bg-blue-500 (background), text-red-600 (color)
- Display:
flex, block, hidden, inline-block
- Width/Height:
w-64 (width: 16rem), h-screen (height: 100vh)
The pattern is usually: [property]-[value] or [property][direction]-[value]
